About Us: Shaping the Future of Live Events

We’re building a membership platform for the future of live events that prioritises and rewards loyal fans.

At the heart of every meaningful live event lies the desire to feel connected, valued, and part of a shared community. That’s why we built Planet, an end-to-end membership platform that allows artists, venues, and brands to truly understand their audiences.

But we don’t stop there. Through The Beat, our personalisation engine, we go beyond one-off, transactional moments and establish lasting connections with fans. By harnessing insights and learnings from over two years of research into fan engagement, we’re building a future where:

  • Loyal fans feel truly seen and prioritised
  • Engagement is as seamless and as simple as possible to action

Our vision is to enable impactful, personalised interactions with every fan, fostering deeper connections and more valuable communities. Together, Planet and The Beat help remove the time and resources traditionally required for fan engagement, making it effortless to take every campaign and live event to the next level.
