ShowHub is built around strengthening the local live music industry through connection, visibility, and community support. By creating clear pathways between artists, presenters, venues, and audiences, the platform helps ensure that live music is easier to discover, more accessible, and better supported across the region.
As a result, we have developed a set of partnership programs designed to support organizations and presenters whose work directly contributes to the growth, sustainability, and accessibility of the local live music ecosystem.
If you are interested in partnering with ShowHub, we invite you to get in touch. The outlines below serve as general guidelines, and individual partnerships can be tailored to reflect specific needs and circumstances.
Community Partnerships for Non-Profits
In our first year, we launched our Community Partnership Program, which offers reciprocal partnerships to non-profit organizations that curate and produce high-quality concert series. These organizations align closely with our mandates of inclusion and accessibility for all.
To support this work – particularly for groups with limited advertising budgets – we offer a cost-free reciprocal arrangement that increases visibility and awareness for both parties.
We provide:
- linked logo placement in the Community Partners section at the bottom of every page on the ShowHub website
- homepage buttons linking to the partner’s dedicated listings
- brand-colour borders on the listing grid images, to let them stand out
- cross-branded sharing images
- Instagram page highlights, maintained to always feature upcoming shows
- social media tags and mentions where appropriate
- newsletter and social announcements recognizing the partnership
In return, we request:
- linked logo placement on the partner’s website
- signage, cards, or other branding display at events
- acknowledgment as a sponsor at events
- social tagging, collaboration, and mentions where appropriate
- newsletter and social media announcements of the partnership, as applicable
Supportive Partnerships for Concert Presenters and Promoters
This program follows a similar structure to the Community Partnership Program, but is designed to support the long-term sustainability of the platform and reflect the additional time required to manage these partnerships. It also provides the highest level of visibility outside of featured show campaigns.
Many for-profit presenters run ticketed shows, which require significantly more resources to list than standard performances, particularly when they involve touring acts, artists not yet in our directory, or venues that have not previously been added to ShowHub.
During the introductory period, pricing is a flat $30 per show listed. This includes all elements of the Community Partnership Program, with the exception of Instagram highlights, which are offered as an add-on due to the ongoing time required to maintain them. After 2026, pricing may be adjusted based on the volume and complexity of listings.
Rather than appearing in the Community Partners section, these partners’ logos are displayed in a dedicated Supportive Partners section of the website, positioning them as organizations that are directly supporting the sustainability of the platform.
Metrics and Reach (May, 2026)
As of the beginning of May, 2026, we’re seeing 11,000 visits and 27,000 page views on our website in a month, with our content reaching 32,000 accounts on IG, plus 25,000 views on Facebook over the same period.
That’s almost entirely organic, as we did not run any significant campaigns during the month of April.
Partner logos are displayed across all pages, and the average duration of a visit to the site is between 2.5 and 3 minutes.
