"
Again, thank you for everything, and it's a no-brainer moving forward that I will only be working with you guys in promoting my events, and you can quote me on that! Haha." RC Peters - Indigo Music

"Just wanted to thank you and your fellow Do512'ers for all the great ink & placement during the ramp-up to New Year's Eve.  the show was a massive success for us, and we consider our Do512 ad budget to be money well spent" - Ellen Stader - RubyRico Productions

"Keep up the good work!  There are so many aspects that make your group a pleasure to work with and a huge asset to our business.  One of the biggest things … advertising with Do512 has been a value add that promoters and bookers appreciate and ask about.  This helps us build stronger relationships and in turn book more shows." - Melissa Hess - Hudson on 5th and Republic Live

"When ND signed on to be a Featured Venue on Do512 we saw immediate impact for shows across the calendar.  More people in the know, new audience members coming out (and telling our door staff they saw us on Do512).  And our first featured monthly event (Beatles Hoot Nite) was the biggest bar ring we'd ever had for a local show.  The system works, y'all." - Mike Henry - ND at 501 Studios

"Another successful campaign with you guys.  Lambert's was packed! I appreciate your continued support and look forward to many more collaborations.
" - Whitaker Elledge - Playing in Traffic

"We've got a pretty eager fan base that has been awaiting the debut of the new band for the last few months, so we'll be able to build a pretty big crowd. Thanks in part to Do512 we sold out our CD release at Stubb's last March, so we'll be using you guys a lot this year as we continue to build the new Suite 709 brand." - Dietrich Schmidt - Suite 709

"
Also, thanks so much for the Happy Hour - it was great!  Twitter was abuzz and the updates on Do512 were awesome.  And the most important thing - it was a great turnout!  I look forward to our relationship - I feel it's gonna be a great one!" - Keith Sandel - Black Sheep Lodge

"Guys, this is really great – we have seen big spikes over the weekend and yesterday since you've been working on this show – actually, Goran is outselling Maxwell now! So THANK YOU for your work on this – we appreciate it so much!" - Jessica Haynie - Texas Performing Arts

"The folks at Do512 are always quick to jump in and help create the best solution to help promote my shows and they genuinely enjoy the work they do. I set up events for each show and encourage my fans to visit the Do512 site to gather all the info about the shows, the venues, and connect with other fans who are attending the show. It's a great site." - Nakia - Nakia & His Southern Cousins 

"Do512 is a promoting force to be reckoned with. Honestly, I don't think our shows would do as well if we didn't have their services. The staff is creative, friendly and precise. I can confidently attest that Do512 brought in at least 50ppl to our last event. We usually don't have lines of people waiting to get in the venue right when doors open, however when Do512 puts their patented push behind it, we do." - Bobby Clay - Polaris Presents

"Our partnership with Do512 was the #1 reason why we sold out Antone's for the Bush Retirement Party.  It was a hugely successful benefit for the Democratic Party, and we could not have pulled it off without Do512's efforts. They exceeded our expectations, and they understand how to use social media to promote events better than anyone in Austin.  Do512 will be a key partner for all events we do in the future. Thanks for all the great work, Do512 rocks!  -- Andy Brown, Democratic Party Chair for Travis County

"Thanks so much for all your NYE help! I really appreciate it. Thanks to you guys, we totally freaked out the bar. They thought only 500 would come but it was well over 1000! It was a packed house all night!" - Amarah - The Sour Notes

"Do512 has been essential in spreading the word about our events, and the ease of their RSVP system not only benefits our guests but makes life easier for us as well."
- Daniel Perlaky, Owner, City On Fire and Indierect Records

“I feel Do512 majorly helped push ticket sales to this show by 150-175 people, that was extremely helpful...you did a lot in a short time, you've definitely BLOWN IT OUT OF THE WATER. If Do512 pushed it, they could get the entire town to purchase Yoko Ono’s CD’s…I once bought one as a novelty” – Frank Hendrix – Emo’s

"Antone's Nightclub is thrilled to be a part of Do512, we feel that their aggressive and efficient online grassroots marketing is essential to getting information out to a market that thrives on web information and blogger write-ups on shows in town! Very effective, very hip!“ – Jessica Jarrett – Antone’s Nightclub

"Why would I rely on otherwise meaningless words in a print ad when I can use the tools Do512 has created to actually show people the bands playing at Beerland? They can see and hear and read about a band they maybe aren't familiar with by name alone. Besides, they're already on the internet all day while they're supposed to be working. They're not reading the paper." – Randall Stockton – Beerland

"Do512's services have proven themselves to be a muscular addition to many advertising or promoting endeavors that we've undertaken for live music venues / events all over Austin. Above and beyond that, their event listings alone are considered essential to making the wider public aware of our events." - Stephen Tatton - Surefire Media & Entertainment

"On behalf of the Noise Revival I wanted to personally thank you for sponsoring our EP Release show!  It was an amazing show!  I can't believe the outrageous amount of people who RSVP'd! We are grateful for everyone that helped make it such an amazing show! - Nathan Felix - Noise Revival Orchestra

"Do512 helped us have the most successful debate watch party in Travis County history.  It allowed us to reach outside of our normal base of supporters and event attendees to have a wildly successful event involving new people.  I hope the Republicans don't use Do512."- Andy Brown - Democratic Party Chair for Travis County

"The staff at Do512 has been a joy to work with. Their knowledge of social media and how to implement a marketing campaign using these tools is refreshing. It’s the perfect way to target the young hip Austinites looking for something to do."- Amy Layton, Hook ‘em Marketing & Public Relations - The Long Center of the Performing Arts

"Yeah, the show was amazing. Crowd was outstanding especially in the midst of free week. I do thank you for linking us up with Do 512. That absolutely increased our numbers, no doubt about it." - Susan Funderburk


Do512 User Testimonials

"I just wanted to thank you for a year of awesomeness in Austin. I have really enjoyed knowing what is going on throughout Austin each week in your e-mails with all the links listed to upcoming events. Of course with SXSW, you all have made it so convenient to keep track of what you have RSVPd for and see what shows are going on throughout the week, but throughout the rest of the year, you all do the same awesome thing all the time! It is so nice to have this sort of update with contact info and ticket purchasing links right on one site!

Since I have been living in Austin, I have been able to know so much more about what is going on just from this one website! You all never cease to amaze me with the most up-to-date and accurate info!

Just as a side note, I really love that you have everything broken down to be sorted through Parties, Bands, Showcases, etc and then all listed by days. Makes is super-convenient!
Last but not least, it is very much appreciated that you all WANT your viewers' feedback and consistently ask for it in each e-mail you send out to confirm events. It just goes to show that you all are going to keep on truckin' with new updates and additions to the site! Love it!!

Thanks for spreading the Austin social love

"Eating dinner w/ Paul and he just told me that he uses Do512 to forecast when his HR department is going to call in sick" - Anonymous

"Thank you (Do512)...for your tireless effort to bring Austin all things cool, your a visionary =]" JillAnthemette via Twitter


"you guys are great, i stopped using austin 360 a while back once i realized how much easier it is to use your site." Chad Simmons

"AWESOME! I'm really excited for the concert. My friend told me about this website and its been a godsend for date ideas over the past few months! Thank you!!!!!" - Dan Treadway
"I have to say, I love your site. My time so far in Austin wouldn't be nearly as fun if it wasn't for Do512. So thank you!" - Adam Ziegenhals 

"Having worked for and advertised with other city guide/entertainment websites going back to 1996, I can say that Do512 is by far the most clear, concise, fun, helpful, and easy to use. They somehow manage to boil down all the clutter with which other websites are plagued, and the result is me being able to find fun things to do around Austin without all the scrolling, clicking, and cursing! They are a good bet for advertising and co-promotion because they don't just post a website and then sit their waiting for people to find it. They actively sponsor events all over Austin to build their brand, which of course directly benefits advertisers." - Chad Harlan

"Do512 is an excellent website that has really taken off in its popularity.  I've switched almost entirely to Do512 from The Chronicle as my source for fun events.  Not only does it do a better job of organizing events, but because it's an online tool, you get to hear samples of artists' music, plus you can see how popular the event is based on the # of people who select I LIKE IT." - Anita Benner

"The great thing about Do512's social network presence is that it's a singular place people go to to find out what's happening, and while it's hard to judge who comes to my shows because of Do512 I do know that because they represent as a whole what's happening in our city, they are exposing my name and my shows in a way that makes a newcomer to Austin like myself feel like a big part or our bustling music scene." - Mike Maven

"Hey, Just joined, this looks my new place to find out what is going on around town!  The layout is really cool and easy to browse." - John Foster

"Wanted to let you know what a great job you've done with your site. I was looking for a place to hear some music for 8-21 and went the Chronicle's site. Nothin'. Then I went to yours and found tons of great options. Thanks!" - Jon Lasser
