At the centre of this infrastructure is Promota™, Promoter Media Platforms’ owned and operated
subscription-based SaaS platform for the cultural, live events and experiential economy.
Promota™ transforms venues, audiences and live engagement into actionable, hyper-local intelligence, positioning Promoter Media not only as a media owner, but as a technology and data
partner.

Promota™ SaaS Platform
Pull Marketing • Venue Intelligence • Localised Analytics
Promota™ is a multi-sided SaaS platform designed to serve: – Venues – Event promoters – Artists and management companies – Brands and agencies – Public-sector and cultural institutions.
The platform addresses a critical gap in the African live events market: the absence of authentic, firstparty, locally generated audience data.
Rather than relying on intrusive ad-tech or global platforms, Promota™ is built on consumer-driven pull marketing, consented engagement and aggregated analytics.
SaaS Business Model
Promota™ operates on a tiered subscription model, enabling scalable monetisation and clear upsell pathways.
Core revenue streams: – Monthly and annual SaaS subscriptions – Tier-based access to analytics, targeting and exports – Enterprise research, reporting and strategic support.
No personal user data is sold or exposed. All insights are aggregated, anonymised and POPIA aligned.
Platform Architecture
B2C Module – Promoter App (Audience Layer)
A consumer-facing mobile application where users (“Promoters”): – Create profiles based on interests,
genres and location – Discover events, venues and performers – Participate in polls and event questions
– Earn engagement-based rewards.
This module continuously generates first-party behavioural data, enabling: – Ongoing audience profiling – Hyper-local insight generation – Authentic consumer-driven research.
B2B Module – Venue Owner Portal (Core SaaS Product)
The Venue Owner Portal is Promota™’s primary commercial offering.
It enables venues and event operators to:
Venue Management – Create and manage venue profiles – Declare size, capacity, type and amenities –
Define geographic targeting radius
Event & Poll Management – Publish events – Launch geo-targeted polls (general or event-specific) – Target audiences by location, genre and venue-type interest.
Audience Intelligence & Analytics – View aggregated engagement metrics – Understand local demand and genre preferences – Analyse time-based and behavioural patterns.
This directly supports: – Smarter programming and booking decisions – More efficient marketing spend –
Risk mitigation (expected turnout vs capacity).
Subscription & Tiered Value Proposition
The Promota™ is intentionally tiered to support growth across venue sizes and client sophistication.
Illustrative tiers include:
Entry / Free: Venue listing, limited polls, high-level metrics.
Basic: Expanded polls, demographic breakdowns, standard dashboards.
Pro: Advanced geo-analytics,
behavioural insights, report exports.
Enterprise: Multi-venue analytics, custom research, API access
and strategic support.
Differentiation
Unlike ticketing platforms or traditional ad-tech, Promota™: – Uses pull marketing, not interruption – Builds first-party African market data – Focuses on real-world, hyper local behaviour – Treats venues as data producers, not just ad buyers – Converts engagement into actionable intelligence, not vanity metrics.
This differentiation directly aligns with Promota Media Platforms’ mission to deliver localised insight and market intelligence that global platforms do not provide.
Strategic Value to Promota Media Platforms
As a SaaS-enabled infrastructure layer, Promota™: – Creates recurring subscription revenue – Builds proprietary datasets over time – Anchors Promota’s shift to asset-led, platform-based growth.
It also enables downstream services including: – Campaign strategy and brand activations – Research and reporting – Market access programmes – Cultural and creative economy intelligence.
Promota™ is the technology backbone that powers Promota Media Platforms’ cultural IP, media assets and advisory services.
