Many cultural leaders worry that becoming more "market-oriented"
requires compromising mission, and they struggle to find participation strategies
that can win support while advancing their vision. In this environment, new
marketing approaches are needed that can help you position your organization
for different communities, make the most effective programming decisions and
deeply engage your community.

Who should attend
Good marketing is more than just advertising and public relations. It is a vital senior-level
management function that helps create, capture and sustain value for the diverse stakeholders of
an organization, from institutional funders and individual donors to employees and consumers.
Strategic Marketing takes an integrated approach that incorporates
program, development, customer service, operations and communications decisions. We strongly recommend
that you consider a senior-level team of three or more for this seminar that includes:
- Your senior-level program, management and board leadership
- The directors for your marketing, development and outreach teams
What past participants have to say
"The seminar made us
rethink our positioning. The work challenged one of
our basic beliefs and at first I recoiled from the
result, but by the end of the seminar I realized that
we had captured a key new idea about who we are and
who we serve. The framework we learned for defining
a positioning statement will continue to be a very
valuable tool for us."
Edward Walker
Executive Director, Oklahoma City Philharmonic
"I want to tell you again what a HUGE success I
thought the Strategic Marketing seminar was. Rather than being academic and
professorial, our two presenters were hands-on, engaging, stimulating and just
overall quite excellent."
Joanie Flatt
Board President, Childsplay
