WHAT: Popular rock-band We Are The Ocean today announced that they're launching a special promotion for their fans at the Reading festival through the Frequent Fans program on Flowd, the music lovers' social network. The Frequent Fans promotion for Reading is a result of a successful trial run by We Are The Ocean to promote their Live & Unplugged acoustic show on 18th August.
The promotion through Flowd of We Are The Ocean's recent show at Bush Hall drove attendees to check-in to the gig, with the first five people to check-in being invited to join the band for their sound check. Using Flowd, We Are The Ocean built a personal connection with their super-fans. Every person that checked in using Flowd was also gifted with a free poster that was collected from the merchandise desk inside the venue. In total, 7.5% of attendees used Flowd to check in to the gigs, and 76% of those collected their free poster. This promotion helped to drive sales of merchandise with 31% of people collecting their free poster going on to buy additional merchandise, with an average of £16 spent by each person.

Following this success, We Are The Ocean has signed up for a bigger promotion around their appearance at the Reading festival. They will be using Flowd's Frequent Fans platform to create a special competition for fans who watch their performance at the Reading festival on Sunday August 28th. Fans checking into the We Are The Ocean gig with Flowd will have the chance to visit a special short acoustic performance by the same band, happening later the same day. The settings for this gig will be intimate and happening at the Relentless Energy Drink VIP Bar backstage. 3 lucky fans, selected randomly by the Flowd Frequent Fans platform, will take home the VIP prize and allowed backstage with one friend each.
Lead singer and manager of We Are The Ocean, Dan Brown, explains: "We were really pleased to meet 5 true super-fans at the Live & Unplugged show, through Flowd's tools, and so we wanted to take it to even more fans. We know that our fans love to get to know us, and how better than by giving them an intimate show backstage.
