New digital platform for FESTSPILLENE I BERGEN

Marketing and sales platform

“Our website is a very central part of the festival’s communication and sales work, and where we want ticket sales to take place. It is reassuring to see that sales went well during this year’s festival,” says Vestvik.

“For us this has been an exciting assignment, and this is the most advanced platform Maverix has launched so far. The design has turned out very sleek, and it is nice to hear that ticket sales went brilliantly. We aim to deliver a marketing and sales platform that is among the best on the market today,” says agency director Linda Nordheim at Maverix.
