March 5, 2015 @ 12 noon Pacific — The Hot Arts Marketing Trends for 2015

PRESENTER:
Clint White, President, WiT Media

In a 2014 survey of attendees at arts marketing conferences in the United States and Canada, WiT Media took the pulse of arts organizations across genres and budget sizes. Some key learnings: Interest in dynamic pricing is high, as almost 50% of organizations currently employ the technique and 35% would like to know more. The same goes for lifestyle-oriented marketing and user-generated marketing, both of which ranked high on the current marketing trend list and the list of trends to learn more about.. Judging by their current popularity and how eager arts organizations are to learn more about them, strategies like lifestyle marketing, user-generated marketing, and enhanced segmentation in pay-per-click will likely remain prevalent. The challenge, then, is for cultural organizations to figure out how to develop these strategies in ways that build loyalty and engage audiences, while also operating under the constraints of money, time, and manpower. In this webinar, we'll dive deep into the data and explore possible solutions.
