Where the highway ends and the music starts. One network. Your brand on it.
Chickenstock is a three-day music festival held every second weekend of June at Chicken Gold Camp. MP 66 on the Taylor Highway, deep in Interior Alaska. The lineup is all Alaskan. The eats are local. There's a Peep Drop from a helicopter. People do the Chicken Dance in full chicken costumes for a world record attempt. It sells out every single year.
It's one of those places where everyone who makes the drive feels like they earned something. No cell service, no Wi-Fi, no public utilities of any kind. Just music, mountains, and a flock of people who really wanted to be there.
We're a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Your sponsorship dollars actually go toward making the festival happen, and yes, it's tax-deductible.

Chicken, Alaska has no cell towers. No internet. People actually love it that way. But they also really want to post their photos.
That's where you come in. One brand gets to be the carrier. Every device that connects sees your name. Every photo that gets posted from the grounds goes out through your network. You're not just a logo on a banner. You're the reason the internet works out here.
The Wi-Fi SSID, the splash page, the signage across the grounds. All you.
Your brand on signage throughout the grounds and along the approach road. Hard to miss, impossible to forget.
This crowd drives from Fairbanks, from the Valley, from wherever. They know local brands and they back them.
The Wi-Fi sponsorship is the headline. One brand, the only carrier in Chicken, AK. Ground signage is available as an add-on to the connectivity package or as a standalone. Reach out and we'll talk through what works.
Verizon doesn't go to Chicken. AT&T doesn't go to Chicken. We haul in enterprise-grade data service from scratch and your brand is the carrier. Every login, every post, every upload: powered by you.
Feather banners lining the approach, A-frames at the entry and vendor areas. Your brand is in the backdrop of every photo taken at the gate. Available as an add-on to the Connectivity package or on its own.
Every sponsorship at Chickenstock is an integrated brand experience, not a banner placement. Here's how it stacks up against the metrics your team already uses to evaluate spend.
Cost Per Thousand Impressions — Industry Benchmarks
Industry CPM benchmarks per WordStream, HubSpot, and IAB 2024 reports. Attention data per Meta internal research and Nielsen.
65–80% of skippable pre-roll gets skipped. 86% of users have banner blindness. At Chickenstock there is no skip button, no other network, no cell signal to fall back on. Your brand is the only show in town.
Paid social gets you an opt-in for $5–15 per contact. These are people who drove to Interior Alaska on purpose and handed you their email at the gate. That list comes with the package.
Chickenstock sells out every year. Everyone there drove hours on gravel to get there. For brands targeting Fairbanks and Interior Alaska, this is a self-selected high-intent audience no programmatic buy can reach.
Alaskans support brands that show up. Sponsoring Chickenstock isn't a media buy. It's a signal that your brand belongs here. 89% of consumers say they're more loyal to brands that share their values (Edelman).

You're not buying impressions. You're buying integration at a festival people actually love, with an audience that actually showed up, in a format they literally cannot skip.
