Event marketing that sells the tickets
We promote events, sell tickets and capture the day on camera. From the first announcement to the last photo, we plan the marketing, run the ads, create the content and film the event, all under one roof.
Tell us about your event and we will build the marketing around it.

A great event still needs people to hear about it
Tickets do not sell themselves, however good the line up, the venue or the idea. People need to see the event, understand it quickly and find an easy way to book. That is what event marketing is for.
At First Turn Media we are a marketing agency based in March, Cambridgeshire, and we look after the whole run of an event: the plan, the ads, the social media, the website, the emails and the photography and video on the day. One team, one plan, one consistent look.
Because we create the content ourselves, your adverts, your social posts and your event film all feel like they belong to the same event.
- A clear plan and content calendar for the run up to your event
- Paid ads on Facebook and Instagram aimed at the right people
- Social media posts, reels and stories that build excitement
- A website or ticket landing page that makes booking simple
- Email campaigns to people who already want to hear from you
- Photography and video that you can use again and again

From the first post to the final photo
Every event is different, but the way we run them follows the same six stages.
Plan
We agree your goals, your audience and your dates, then build a content and campaign calendar around them.
Build
We prepare your website or ticket landing page, your branding and the first round of content.
Launch
We announce the event with ads, social media and email so your audience hears about it at the same time.
Sell
We keep tickets moving with fresh content, reminders and retargeting, and we check the results as we go.
Capture
On the day we take the photos and film the video that show what your event is really like.
Recap
We turn the coverage into thank you posts, highlight films and promotion for the next event.
Have a project in mind?
Contact me to talk it through. I will listen to what you are planning, then put together a bespoke package quote built around your event, your audience and your dates.
Content that keeps working for you
Photography and videography are part of how we market events, not an extra. Here is the kind of event content we create.
Highlight films
A full film of the atmosphere, the acts and the crowd, ready for your website and your next ticket launch.
Short reels
Quick, punchy clips made for Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, cut to the length and format each platform likes.
Behind the scenes
The build up, the people and the preparation. Content that makes your audience feel part of the event before the gates open.
Video for adverts
Event footage cut into ads that sell tickets, using real moments from your own event rather than stock clips.
Event photography
Edited photos of your crowd, acts, venue and sponsors for social media, press and your website.
Thank you content
Recap posts and films that thank your audience and your partners and start building interest in the next event.
One day on site, months of content
Good coverage keeps working long after the event has finished. Here is what you get from having us there.

Event marketing questions answered
What does event marketing include?
Event marketing covers everything that gets people to know about your event and book a place. For us that means a plan and calendar, paid ads on Meta, social media content, email, a website or ticket landing page, and photography and video from the event itself.
Can you help us sell more tickets?
Yes. We run ticket sales campaigns that combine paid ads, social content, email and a clear booking page, then keep adjusting them while tickets are on sale. We cannot promise sales figures, but we track what is working and we tell you what we see.
Do you do event photography and videography?
Yes. We cover events with photography and video, and we turn that coverage into content for social media, adverts, your website and the next event.
When should we start marketing our event?
As early as you can. People need time to hear about an event, plan for it and buy tickets, and early content builds momentum. If you already have a date, get in touch and we will build a plan around the time you have left.
What kinds of events do you work on?
We are happy to talk about festivals, shows, club nights, charity events, markets, open days and workshops.
Do you only work with events in Cambridgeshire?
We are based in March, Cambridgeshire and work with events across Fenland and the surrounding area, and we also work UK wide.
How much does event marketing cost?
It depends on the size of the event, how long we are promoting it and whether you want photography and video as well. We do not publish fixed prices. Contact Kerrie to discuss your project and she will put together a bespoke package quote built around your event and your budget.
How do we get started?
Send us your event details through our contact page or email info@firstturnmedia.co.uk. Kerrie will get back to you to talk about your event, your audience and your dates.
