Lake Macquarie Workshop - MARKETING FOR CREATIVES
Event description
HATE SELLING? TRY STRATEGY INSTEAD.
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 Marketing for Creatives 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.
