Independent Venue Week

“When we were looking to bring Independent Venue Week to the US, there was no question that Marauder would be our first-choice partner. Their attention to detail and black book would mean that we would reach all the right people both within the industry and media. They delivered to the highest standard and have helped build a hugely credible foundation for the future. As well as the professional aspect, it’s the way they treat their partners and staff that really makes a world of difference. Finding a partner that has the same ethics and respect for the people that make up the business is a huge consideration for us. And they do all of this with great humour and patience.”

— Sybil Bell, Founder, Independent Venue Week

Independent Venue Week is an annual celebration of independently-owned and operated venues and promoters. The seven-day event, which Marauder brought stateside in 2018, champions the local businesses and organizations that are the backbone of the country’s live industry.
