DISCOVER WHAT OUR PREVIOUS CLIENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT ARTHOUSE.

Travis sat down with us when we were first designing our Kickstarter campaign. We were nervous because it was our first campaign ever, and we had no management or label guide us. He broke it down into manageable pieces and helped us understand how to prioritize our time. We ended up going $30,000 over our goal.”

- Jamie "Jonny 5" Laurie, The Flobots

Travis is the consummate professional in this area. He knows the strategy and process to succeed – just look at the performance of past Kickstarter campaigns he’s been involved with. Having Travis on our team pushed us into having a top-notch campaign, hands down. If you’re able to get him on board with yours, it’s the best strategic move you can make.”

-Todd Lilienthal, The Lonesome Days

Working with Travis on our Kickstarter campaign was the best decision we made during our fundraising efforts. His leadership, direction, & communication during the campaign was invaluable our success. With his insight and education on fundraising, our efforts during the campaign were focused into areas that gave us great advantage and broke our work into achievable goals.”

– Melly Frances, The Sweet Lillies

Travis was extremely thorough and went the extra mile to ensure The Drunken Hearts’ were all individually prepared and armed with the tools necessary to execute a successful Kickstarter campaign. I would highly recommend Arthouse Consulting to any band seeking to explore the realms of crowdfunding.”

– Andrew McConathy, The Drunken Hearts

Travis knows what he is doing when it comes to crowdfunding. When my band thought that we weren’t going to meet our Kickstarter goal, we called him. Not only has he helped us as well as many of our friends succeed but he’s also been part of many successful crowdfunding projects of his own. Travis has the experience, the knowledge, and the creativity to help artists and entrepreneurs achieve their goals.”

– Lauren Stovall, The Railsplitters
