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.

For vendors & brand activators

Vendor account

  • Every festival on the platform in one searchable season plan — dates, cities and crowd sizes, instead of hunting across the internet
  • One profile applies to any event on the platform — no separate emails to a dozen operators
  • See the booth price before you apply, and pick the spot you want
  • Know what every show actually made you after the booth fee and your costs, with year-over-year comparisons
  • Re-apply to last season's events in one click

For festival & event operators

Festival operating software

  • Know where your money stands: booth fees billed, collected, outstanding and net — per event and across the season
  • Sell vendor spots by type and price, with places counted as applications come in so you never oversell a booth
  • An approval queue that flags returning vendors and whether they paid you last year
  • Booth fees flow straight from the spot a vendor picked — you never type a fee twice
  • The dashboard the circuit’s own events run on — proven on the grounds

Festival accounts are set up with the operator directly — we agree terms one to one rather than listing them. If you run an event and want the console, get in touch and we’ll talk it through.

Pricing

What it costs

Vendors get in free and pay only when they want their numbers tracked. Festival accounts work differently — we set those up with each operator directly and agree terms with them one to one, so there is nothing to sign up for here.

Built and run by the team behind the London Ribfest, the London International Food Festival and the London Children’s Festival — the software our own events run on.

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, next to a season planner covering every festival on the platform.

Festival operators

Run the vendor side

Set out the spots you sell and what they cost, review applications in an approval queue that flags returning vendors, and watch booth fees land on your finances page without typing them.

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.

On the roadmap: Square sales data per vendor and per event, booth maps, in-platform vendor messaging, and weather history.
