If Content is King, What’s Up with Arts Marketing?
Presenter: Trevor O’Donnell, arts marketing guru and author, "Marketing the Arts to Death: How Lazy Language is Killing Culture" as part of the 2012 Entertainment Innovation Conference.
The arts have done a great job of keeping up with marketing technology, but we’ve done a lousy job of making our promotional messages fresh, relevant and persuasive. In this hands-on session you'll learn how to use the right words and images to persuade younger, more diverse audiences without offending long-time patrons. It's a fun, irreverent critique of the language we speak now, and a practical tool for developing new, effective marketing content for tomorrow's arts audiences.

ALL SEATS: $25
