Lightnin Stik Productions (ASCAP)
A Live Performance Production & International Promotional Campaign
A professionally filmed live performance production of Lightnin Stik, an original classic hard rock band, designed to give booking agents the live-show media they need to expand the project’s audience locally and internationally.
There’s already international traction that can be expanded into a continual advertising market to consumers in the 25–44 age range, who are currently 56% male and 44% female. We are already reaching this audience with minimal resources, and sponsorship support could create the leverage needed to pursue 1,000,000+ targeted impressions.
With your support, you become part of the production and its promotional campaign, gaining association with the same audience we are working to expand while helping create the professional content required to build trust, expand the audience, and put Lightnin Stik in front of the people who can book the show live.
There are no guaranteed benefits or outcomes. This is not an investment opportunity.
THE Production
This is the first of a series of professionally produced live-performance projects designed to create powerful media that can expand local and international audience reach and put Lightnin Stik Productions in front of the people who can bring the live show to more stages.
The project will feature an intimate, professionally captured live performance with paid professional musicians, professional live audio recording, multi-camera video capture, and post-production.
The finished production will provide:
- Individual live song videos
- A full-length live performance
- Select behind-the-scenes footage
- Audio song cuts
- An informational production brochure
- A finished digital media bundle
- Booking and EPK materials
- Promotional content for an international advertising campaign
Additional funding beyond the minimum production threshold will be directed toward additional production time, editing, content, and campaign promotion.
WHY THIS CAMPAIGN — WHY NOW?
Lightnin Stik is currently receiving international attention and intends to build on that momentum into 2027.
Current International Traction
51% of the existing fan base is currently located in Brazil and Argentina.
MariskalRock / La Heavy — Spain
Editorial coverage and feature by Juan Destroyer, including the July 2026 La Heavy issue and coverage on MariskalRock.
Rock Hard Italy — Italy
Interview completed with Michele Martini for the forthcoming August 2026 issue.
The live production is designed to turn this existing traction into a stronger visual and live-performance presence through digital distribution, advertising, social-media campaigns, and future booking and EPK submissions.
A ledger showing the use of contributions will be maintained and made available upon request.

1,000,000+ TARGETED IMPRESSIONS
The 1,000,000+ figure is a campaign target based on previous advertising performance and projected optimization of that performance.
Actual results will depend on audience, creative performance, geographic targeting, advertising costs, frequency, and platform delivery.

61,581 impressions
22,030 accounts reached
985 link clicks
345 landing-page views
$0.13 cost per landing-page view
$0.05 cost per link click
1.60% link CTR
The audience was:
