We build the direct line between your artist and their fans

You already know a fanbase you own is worth more than one you rent. Building it, the strategy, the tech, and the day-to-day, is a full-time job. That's the job we do.

Fans first.Technology second.

We start inside your artist's existing fan communities, reading the group chats, the Discord threads, the comment sections, to learn what fans actually value and how they want to connect, with the artist and with each other. Those insights shape the strategy. Only then do we build the stack.

Fresh eyes on every artist.Proven frameworks underneath.

No two fanbases behave the same way, so we start from scratch on strategy and lean on our own playbooks for execution. The result is owned channels fans look forward to hearing from, and tell other fans about.

Own the relationship.The revenue follows.

Artists have rented their audiences from social platforms for years, paying in reach every time an algorithm shifts. We run growth campaigns that bring those fans into channels your artist controls, so the people who care most are reachable on release day, on-sale day, any day.

Qualitative fan research

Using FanSight, our proprietary social and community listening platform, we track what fans are saying across social platforms and fan communities. We then go deeper with surveys and focus groups with your most engaged fans, to find out what they value, what they'll pay for and where the opportunities are. Every insight becomes a clear recommendation for products, experiences, pricing and fan engagement.

Big Cookie oversaw the planning and rollout of the Radiohead tour registration and ticketing programme for their European shows in November and December 2025. Pulling several teams and projects together into one place, Big Cookie’s calm and positive approach was just what we needed to help navigate us through some quite complex problems and find the most equitable solutions for both band and fans alike.
