Marketing for events that have to fill the field.

If Michigan Antique Festival has a page, a post, a map, an ad, or a video online, this shop made it. Twenty years. Same founder. That is the agency.

Most event marketing is rented for a season. A strategist. A designer. A media buyer who has never stood in the field they are advertising. Then the account gets handed down.

We sell a stack. Marketing, design, systems, discipline, and Michigan. One shop that can fill the show and still be here next season.

The rebuilt site is at 252,000 active users this year, up 739% from the same stretch last year. A combined 140,000 on Facebook and Instagram. The Treasure Map at map.miantiquefestival.com points treasure hunters at shops, malls, and the festival weekends.

Results

From no website and no social to 252,000 active users this year.

Every public piece is ours: the site, the ads, the listings, the calendar, the video, and the Facebook and Instagram pages that now hold 140,000 people. Spring dealer counts are up 30% in Midland and 45% in Davisburg from 2024 to 2026.

The useful part is not the spike. The useful part is that the same shop is still here to read it.

Festival Treasure Map

map.miantiquefestival.com. A statewide map of shops, malls, and festival weekends. Built so treasure hunters can plan the trip before they hit the gate.

What we do

Event marketing that stays.

We run the public side of a show. Demand. The site the crowd actually uses. The map, the video, the listings. Then we measure what ran and build the next piece. We do not restart the brand every spring.

Demand

Ads, listings, social, email, video. Built to put people on the grounds and dealers in the rows.

The public stack

Pages that hold a weekend spike. Tickets and dealer registration where the traffic already is. A Treasure Map for the trip.

The next season

Same shop. Same numbers. The work compounds because the people who made it are still on the account.

Fit

Who this is for

Owners of shows, markets, festivals, and seasonal destinations who need the field full and a shop that will still answer in March. Work you can describe in one paragraph. A long account, not a launch week.

Who this is not for

A rebrand every quarter. A 90-day slide deck. Work you cannot describe in one paragraph.

The shop

David Edens

Owner of Pine Knob Solutions. Twenty years running the public internet for Michigan Antique Festival: every site, every post, every ad, every video.

Before that: machines built from parts in Tupperware bags, the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, the Navy, then home to Michigan.

The name is local. The work is the system other people see without knowing who built it.

Talent stack, not a department.

The longer story

Ready when the work is real.

If you run a show and you need the field full — and someone who will still be here next season — send a short note. David reads them.
