ONLINE: Creative’s Guide to Marketing

October 17, 2023 @ 10:00 am 12:00 pm

Marketing is one of the most despised and least understood aspects of running a creative business and being an arts entrepreneur. Most creatives hate to sell, and would rather be making than hustling.

There is a simple secret to making marketing more palatable – understanding the strategy behind the sales will make a huge impact on your creative career. This down-to-earth and enjoyable workshop explores the mystery behind the marketing magic, specifically for creative professionals.

We’ll also examine:
+ The key elements of a successful marketing campaign;
+ How to understand clients, customer and competitors;
+ The deeper meaning of word-of-mouth marketing;
+ The importance of social media;
+ How to make a website with impact … and much more!

Our Creative’s Guide to Marketing workshop is tailored specifically to creative people who are (or want to be) self-employed, from students and start-ups to experienced freelancers and arts organisations.

What do I get?
All participants of this workshop also receive:
+ Lifetime access to a dedicated Creative’s Guide to Marketing dropbox folder full of additional resources and help;
+ Access to a dedicated webpage full of links and resources to help them get ahead in their creative business.
