Your Complete Marketing EngineYour Complete Marketing Engine
A marketing department, a social team, and a front desk — all of it reading from the event you already built.
The Full Email Arc, Written For You
Eight emails — announcement, the experience, logistics, bring a friend, limited seats, reminder, final call — each written from your event and sequenced across the runway. Six weeks out, it drops the ones that no longer fit. Six days out, it sends the two that matter.
Meta Ads, Built And Placed
Feed, Stories, and video creative generated from your own imagery and copy, with the ticket call-to-action wired in — then targeted by radius around your venue.
Social, Posted In Your Voice
Connect Instagram and Facebook and Amplify posts for you — in a voice you set, fluent in the tradition you teach in, from bhakti to breathwork to ecstatic dance.
SMS, WhatsApp, And The Inbox
Reach people where they actually read — and answer them from one inbox that keeps email, SMS, WhatsApp, and social messages in a single thread per person.
Replies That Sound Like You
Teach the assistant your tone, your community, the words you use and the ones you never would. It drafts; you send. Mindful communication at the scale of a sold-out room.
Audiences That Travel With The Lineup
Everyone on the bill can put their audience behind the same night. Co-organizers and featured artists share reach into the event they're part of — so a collaboration markets like one.
The Cross-Promotion Network
Opt in and other organizers can promote your event to their people, and you to theirs — scoped to the categories you choose, blocked on the ones you don't, inside the radius you set.
Written From Your Event, Not A Brief
The description you already wrote, the images you already uploaded, the video you already have — Amplify composes every email and every ad straight from them. There is no second brief to fill in and nothing to write twice.
Attribution You Can Argue With
Every channel reports what it actually returned — spend against tickets sold, per campaign. When something stops earning, the engine moves the budget itself. The numbers are there so you can see it happened, not so you have to act.
Loving-kindness, built in.Loving-kindness, built in.
Nothing like this exists — not in ticketing, not in advertising. A marketing engine born in this world, whose default register is loving-kindness — invitation over urgency — attuned to the way your own community speaks.

Set the voice once — your tone, the tradition you teach in, the words your community uses and the ones you never would — and every email, ad, and reply follows it. Fluent from bhakti to breathwork; edit or regenerate anything.

Reach Is Only Half Of ItReach Is Only Half Of It
Amplify brings people to your event page. Elevate is what happens once they land — and neither one finishes the job alone.
You pay to earn a visitor once — then get three more chances to convert them, without spending again.
The message arrives when it matters and the price is already right, so the email has something to close on.
Every ticket sold becomes another channel. Reach you paid for compounds into reach you did not.
A full house stops being a ceiling. Demand you cannot seat still has somewhere to go.
Interest arrives as a conversation — and a group rate turns one yes into a row of filled seats.
Couldn’t I just run ads myself?Couldn’t I just run ads myself?
You could. But your hours are the most expensive line in the budget — here is what a hand-run campaign starts without.
Every channel at once
One flip runs Meta, Google, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, email, SMS, and WhatsApp together. Doing it yourself usually means one channel, run by hand, in your evenings.
Automation, end to end
Copy, creative, placement, budget shifts, follow-up, replies — composed and run for you. Ads managers were built for marketers. The switch was built for you.
Targeting that knows this world
Generic ad tools start from cold interest categories. Amplify starts from people who already attend kirtan, breathwork, and sound baths — near your venue.
A network you cannot rent
Over 500,000 ticket buyers, followers, and practitioners, aggregated across the yoga teachers, artists, and venues who live on BrightStar — and growing every day.
Your collaborators’ audiences, joined with yours
100% warm deliveryBook a lineup and their reach comes with it: your headliners, co-teachers, and venue can share their BrightStar audiences with the event in a tap. Combined with your own people and the 500,000+ network, every ad dollar lands on someone already warm — nothing burned on cold prospecting. No ad platform on earth can offer a festival direct access to its own headliners’ followers. This one was built for it.
The point was never whether you could. It is what it costs: evenings in an ads manager instead of in the room. Amplify returns that time — and the wasted spend — to the thing you actually love: the practice, the music, the people in front of you.
Per-event pricing, no retainer — and every audience the campaign builds stays yours.
Marketing that drives itself
You set the destination — a sold-out event — and take your hands off the wheel. Like a self-driving car, the engine reads the road and handles every turn. Here’s the route it takes the moment you launch:
- 1AI analyzes your event and writes your campaign copy.
- 2It creates multiple ad variations and tests them.
- 3It builds high-intent audiences from everything you’ve connected.
- 4It launches across every channel.
- 5Every visitor to your page expands your retargeting audience.
- 6Messaging refreshes automatically — sharper and more urgent as the date nears.
- 7Budget shifts daily toward whatever’s selling tickets.
- 8It gets smarter every day. You never touch the wheel.
Your campaign wakes up every morning smarter than it was yesterday — refreshing messaging, sharpening audiences, and moving budget toward what’s actually selling tickets. Without you lifting a finger.
Build your own event in the wizard — no account needed — and watch Amplify write for it.
Marketing built into the platform your event lives on.Marketing built into the platform your event lives on.
Amplify is the marketing engine inside BrightStar — the platform born from more than twenty years serving conscious gatherings, from weekly meditation circles to multi-city kirtan tours. Because it lives where your event already lives, it starts with everything an agency would have to be briefed on: the room, the dates, the lineup, the imagery, the words you already wrote. Flip it on and it goes to work.
Every channel runs from that one source. The eight-email arc is written and scheduled to your runway. Meta ads are built from your own imagery and placed across feed, stories, and video. Social posts go out in a voice you set — fluent in the tradition you teach in, from bhakti to breathwork. Retargeting quietly follows the people who visited your page but did not book, and every message lands in one inbox that answers the way you would.
It works alongside the rest of BrightStar rather than on top of it. Elevate catches the visitors Amplify earns — cart recovery, smart pricing, waitlists — and the affiliate and brand-ambassador programs turn the buyers it wins into promoters. Reach compounds into more reach.
The economics stay heart-centred: per-ticket pricing only on the events you enable it for, an ad budget you set yourself — 10 to 15 percent of your gross potential is the honest starting point — and every audience the campaign builds is yours to keep. No retainers, no lock-in, no agency between you and your own community.

Questions, answered.Questions, answered.
Amplify is the marketing engine built into BrightStar. When you create your event and flip it on, it writes your email campaign, builds and places your Meta ads, posts to your social channels in your voice, and answers messages from one inbox — composed from the event you already built: the description, the images, the video. There is no second brief to fill in.
It is event marketing automation built for the conscious-events world: promotion for sound baths, kirtan concerts, breathwork circles, yoga workshops, cacao ceremonies, and multi-day retreats. The AI writes your announcement and reminder emails, builds Instagram and Facebook ads from your own imagery, runs Google, YouTube, TikTok, and Pinterest placements, and retargets the people who visited your page but did not book.
One flip of a switch — that is the entire setup. There is no dashboard to learn, no agency to brief, and no campaign to babysit. The engine shifts budget toward whatever is selling on its own; the per-channel numbers exist so you can see what happened, not so you have to act on them.
If you have never run a marketing campaign, never opened an ads manager, and never written a promotional email, that is exactly who this was built for. Set-and-forget event promotion is the entire design goal: the organizer teaches, hosts, and holds the room; the engine sells the seats.
You can — Meta and Google will happily take your budget. What no ads manager can give you is where Amplify starts: a network of over 500,000 ticket buyers, followers, and practitioners in the conscious-events world, aggregated across the yoga teachers, kirtan artists, sound healers, and venues who live on BrightStar — and growing every day. Amplify begins its targeting with people who already attend gatherings like yours, runs every channel at once — Meta, Google, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, email, SMS, WhatsApp — and composes, places, and adjusts all of it without you writing a brief or opening an ads manager. A hand-run campaign is usually one channel, cold targeting, and your evenings. This is the other thing.
Compare the alternatives honestly: boosting an Instagram post mostly reaches followers you already have, a marketing agency starts at a monthly retainer most independent teachers and studios cannot carry, and self-serve Facebook ads demand weekly attention plus a tolerance for the ads manager. Amplify prices per ticket sold, so the cost scales with the gathering instead of preceding it.
$1.79 + 3.7% per ticket sold, per event — not a subscription. Turn it on for the events that need it and off for the ones that do not. Ad spend is separate, you set it, and a good starting point is 10–15% of your gross potential (your capacity times your ticket price).
There is no monthly marketing subscription, no annual contract, and no setup fee — and ticketing itself starts free on the Seva tier. For a 150-seat $30 gathering, the honest ad budget guidance works out to roughly $450–$675 across the whole campaign, spent gradually and adjustable at any time.
To the ads themselves. You set the budget, it is billed as it is spent, and you can pause or stop at any time. BrightStar's fee is the per-ticket pricing above — we do not take a cut of your ad spend.
That matters because most agencies and ad-management tools charge a percentage of ad spend, which rewards them for spending more. BrightStar's incentive is aligned the other way: we are paid per ticket sold, so the engine is tuned to sell seats efficiently, not to enlarge the invoice.
Meta ads across Facebook and Instagram — feed, stories, and video — plus the full email arc, social posting to your connected accounts, and SMS and WhatsApp where you have consent. Retargeting follows the people who visited your event page but did not book, with cart recovery and exit-intent working alongside it.
In practice that means Instagram story ads and feed ads, Facebook placements, Google search ads for people already searching for a sound bath or yoga class near them, YouTube pre-roll, TikTok and Pinterest placements, an eight-email arc timed to your sales runway, and SMS and WhatsApp reminders where your community has opted in.
The campaign's warm foundation is three audiences combined: your own buyers, followers, and page visitors; BrightStar's network of 500,000+ ticket buyers and practitioners; and the audiences of every collaborator on the event — your headliners, co-teachers, and venue, who share their reach with a tap. Only after that foundation does the engine consider lookalikes. And every visitor the campaign earns joins your retargeting audience and contact list — audience you keep, whether or not you run Amplify again.
The collaborator share is the part no ad platform can offer: a festival that books its headliners can put its ads directly in front of those artists' followers and past ticket buyers — 100% of the ad buy delivered to warm audiences instead of burned on cold top-of-funnel prospecting. A retreat can do the same with its teachers, a venue with its resident artists. It is how a first-year gathering borrows the trust of everyone on the bill.
You set the voice once — your tone, your community, the words you use and the ones you never would — and everything Amplify writes follows it, from the announcement email to the replies in your inbox. Edit or regenerate anything; nothing is locked.
The voice settings cover tone, tradition, and vocabulary — the difference between how a bhakti kirtan community speaks and how a breathwork studio does. Sanskrit terms, lineage names, and ceremony language are handled with care, and hype vocabulary you exclude stays excluded everywhere, from ad headlines to inbox replies.
Maybe not — and Seva stays free forever for exactly that. Amplify earns its keep when you have seats left that word of mouth alone is not reaching: a bigger room, a new city, or a event you cannot afford to leave half-empty. Because it is per-event, you can bring it in only for those.
That is also the honest way to grow: keep free ticketing for the circle that fills itself, and switch Amplify on for the annual retreat, the tour stop, or the venue upgrade where empty seats actually cost you. Many organizers run both side by side.
