WEBINARS OF THE MONTH WEBINARS OF THE MONTH

WEBINAR: THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 11:00 A.M., PST

Mobile-First Strategies for Audience Growth

PRESENTER:
Alexa Valentine

How can arts organizations grow audiences and increase ticket revenue without overloading already stretched teams? This session will share practical, real-world approaches to improving mobile-first digital experiences, increasing conversion, and reaching new audiences—using tools and strategies that are simple, scalable, and aligned with your organization’s mission.

WEBINAR: THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 11:00 A.M., PST

Deepening Audience and Donor Loyalty in a Fragmented World

PRESENTER:
Marivi Bryant

In a time when audiences and donors crave authenticity and attention is harder than ever to earn, arts groups that rethink how they are connecting will thrive. This session explores how to use your stories to build trust, deepen relationships, and turn casual patrons into loyal supporters. Examples from arts and cultural organizations will demonstrate how you can strengthen your impact by aligning brand purpose with audience and donor needs and by being transparent about the process and your progress.

Key Takeaways:

Rethink engagement as trust-building (not just ticket sales or donations) and connect messaging to mission.
Learn how authenticity and community voice can drive stronger relationships.
Discover how to link storytelling to measurable results that support long-term growth.

WEBINAR: THURSDAY, JULY 30, 11:00 A.M., PST

Protect Your Operations: Cover Your Assets (CYA), Maintain Site Value & Manage Your Security

PRESENTERS:
Ronni Reich; Roger Sametz

Programming alone isn’t enough to attract and retain audiences

For decades, orchestras, presenters—and ballet, opera, and theater companies—have been marketing and promoting individual events, each on its own merits. This “bottom up” marketing works fine if you’re presenting Beethoven 5, La Bohème, Swan Lake, Death of a Salesman—or an evening of John Williams—offerings with their own brand recognition. But if you want to program mission-important new works, feature emerging artists, or attract a broader range of attendees, you need a different approach.

This 60-minute webinar will share how to develop a complementary, comprehensive, “top-down” verbal and visual brand strategy that will enable you to promote your whole organization, showcase the unique experiences you deliver, and sell tickets that won’t sell themselves. Discover how top-down branding can add value to all your offerings and build the trust and emotional connections needed to increase both earned and contributed revenue.

Participants will learn how to evolve a differentiated brand promise, a set of guiding brand attributes, constituent-focused messaging, and a system of visual expression to inform and unify communications across media. The session will connect theory to examples from performing and presenting organizations of all sizes. DIY worksheets will round out the session.

"I am writing to let you know how grateful we are for the work you have put into the New Ways Forward program of webinars and roundtables. We have benefited from these programs so much, learning new approaches and ideas as well as checking in to make sure we are on the right track.

We have attended many of the webinars and participated in a few roundtables. Each one is professionally presented and I am taking away something practical and useful from each one that I attend. They have been energizing for me and for my staff and we are finding ways to apply much of the content immediately. Sometimes we are simply getting confirmation that we are doing the right things as we navigate this new “normal” in the Arts world.

I have also participated in a one-on-one with an Arts Ally, choosing to have a social media audit. The feedback was very helpful and personal to us and we got tools to use right away to make improvements. The feedback was empowering and encouraging – just what we need right now.

Thanks for all you do and keep it up! It IS making a difference!"
