The Platform

One operating system for the circuit — festivals on one side, vendors and activators on the other.

brandactivation.ca runs on the same platform that operates the festivals themselves. It is one system with two faces: operating software for the people running events, and application software for the businesses working them. An application made on one side lands directly in the other side's approval queue — no phone calls, no paper.

Two Faces, One System

Pick your side of the table

Two doors into the same system. Vendors and activators — you're most of the traffic, start on the left. Festival operators — there are far fewer of you, and the operator door opens the management side the whole platform was built around.

The Platform

What the software does

Two account types, one system. Vendors and activators use it to get into events; festival operators use it to run them.

Vendors & activators

Apply once, track everything

Build your profile once and use it for every application — one event or many. Your dashboard shows where each application stands, alongside festival discovery with dates, locations and weather insights.

Festival operators

Run the vendor side

Review applications in an approval queue, cap categories to keep the vendor mix balanced, message vendors directly, track compliance and see Square sales data for your event.

Add-ons

Marketing from the same account

Brand activators can book billboard co-advertising, placements and booth space with the account they already have — engagement reporting lands in the same dashboard.
