Marathon Live Announces Facilities Managment Division

Nashville-based full-service facility operator and promoter Marathon Live announced the launch of its Facilities Management Division. The new division will operate under the direction of CEO Mark Dinerstein, SVP of Operations Casey Osburn and Chief Development Officer Josh Billeu. Services include general operations, talent buying, food and beverage management, sponsorship, marketing and social media, customer relationship management, ticketing, production operations and design, facility design and development and more.

“We are highly focused on leading the industry in creative efficiencies and lowering overheads without sacrificing a higher-quality customer and artist experience,” Marathon Live CEO Mark Dinerstein said in a statement. “Our expectations are to integrate our successful practices and team members to share our reputation as a top operator in the small to midsize venue segment.”

The new program is targeted towards venues looking to tap into a larger independent network. Tulips FTW, a 550-capacity venue in Fort Worth, Texas, is the first Facilities Management Division client.

“Marathon Live changes our dynamic, and we could not be more thrilled to start Tulips’ next chapter with them,” Tulips FTW owner Jason Suder said in a statement. “For years, we have fought alongside our remarkable local music scene to make Fort Worth a premier destination for touring talent, producing unrivaled concerts like Shakey Graves, Sierra Ferrell, Big Freedia, Saosin and thousands more backed by the strength of Fort Worth’s own musicians. Being part of the Marathon Live network only validates our efforts, and this collaboration opens up a world of prowess and access to artists we could not have achieved on our own.”
