aftr.bio

One link in your bio.
It keeps itself current.

Your whole world. One address.

aftr.bio is the short domain behind every page here. Yours is aftr.bio/yourname: your tickets, music, socials and essential links, under your own branding, on one address short enough to say out loud.

A link page you have to maintain goes stale by the third month. This one does not, because the events on it are the ones you are already selling tickets to. Announce a night and it appears. The night passes and it goes.

  • Make it look like you. Your logo, cover, bio and colours. Choose your layout and put every section where you want it.
  • Let them hear it first. Add Spotify and SoundCloud players, community links, merch and whatever else connects your crowd.
  • Keep the next night in sight. Feature an event. Your upcoming events update themselves, and fans can follow for announcements and reminders.

Running the night?

Your page is already waiting in BACKROOM, under Your page. Edit it yourself, preview it on a phone, save a draft and publish when you are ready.

Open Your page

Playing it?

DJs and live acts get one free. Your dates fill themselves in from the promoters who book you, and your links flow the other way onto every lineup you are on.

Claim your artist page

Organizer pages come with a free account. Artist pages are free on their own, and reviewed by hand within 24 hours so a name cannot become somebody else’s.

The AFTR DARK advantage

Big-agency experience.
Nightlife instinct.

AFTR DARK is built by veterans of Omnicom, Publicis Media, BBDO and Leo Burnett, bringing that firepower to the strategy, setup and launch of your Meta campaigns.

Set your budget and share the night. A senior agency partner builds and launches your campaigns, with reporting connected to ticket sales. The agency and the ticketing live in one platform.

Meet the agency

Ads learn from your door.

Ticket sales tell us who bought. Door scans tell us who actually showed up. That attendance data can inform retargeting and future audiences, so your next campaign starts with the people who came.

$0 ad management fee for your first event.
Offer terms

Clients with existing retainers are not eligible for the $0 ad management fee waiver offer.

From the first announcement to the last scan

A home for your night.
A reason to come back.

01

Make the night yours.

Give each event its own artwork, lineup and sound. Spotify and SoundCloud players let fans get the vibe before they buy, while your organizer logo and socials keep your brand up front.

02
