The Room Where It Happens: The Eternal Struggle of Marketing vs. Programming
PRESENTER:
Sean King, Principal, Aspire Arts Consulting
With all due respect to Lin-Manuel Miranda and the cast of "Hamilton," “No-one really knows how the game is played” or “How the sausage gets made” but for far too long marketing has not been in the room where programming and fundraising decisions happen. Attend this session and explore ways for marketing to have a seat at the table when the major decisions facing your organization are made but also learn strategies to maximize the impact of marketing when the deals are already done.
A quick survey of your current relationship with the programming department will kick the conversation into overdrive for attendees who are faced with advertising and selling programming, which in many cases are not of their own doing. Lest we not forget about fundraising! The impact marketing has on your organization’s fundraising is what leads to success and in some cases to not reaching its full potential. Leave this session with eight actionable takeaways to empower you to schedule a meeting with your boss and fellow colleagues immediately upon your return.

The Wallace Foundation seeks to improve education and enrichment for disadvantaged children and foster the vitality of arts for everyone. The foundation has an unusual approach: funding efforts to test innovative ideas for solving important public problems, conducting research to find out what works and what doesn’t and to fill key knowledge gaps – and then communicating the results to help others. Wallace, which works nationally, has five major initiatives under way:
- School leadership: Strengthening education leadership to improve student achievement.
- Afterschool: Helping selected cities make good afterschool programs available to many more children.
- Building audiences for the arts: Enabling arts organizations to bring the arts to a broader and more diverse group of people.
- Arts education: Expanding arts learning opportunities for children and teens.
- Summer and expanded learning: Better understanding the impact of high-quality summer learning programs on disadvantaged children, and enriching and expanding the school day in ways that benefit students.
