Arts Audiences Google & the Arts
Arts Audiences is gearing up for the Google @ the Arts training day at Google in Barrow Street on Friday May 10th. 80 arts organisations are attending; if you did not get a place, sorry about that. BUT we are delighted to announce that we will be hosting the afternoon session live via Google Hangout and you can watch and participate. This is a very exciting new development for us and we hope to use Google Hangout for more of our training sessions in the future. If you are interested in watching on the 10th, please leave a comment here and we will be in touch.
We are delighted to publish two of the case studies from the 2012/2013 round of mentoring of arts organisations by Google from IMMA and Jameson Dublin International Film Festival. Both organisations started the mentoring process with specific online marketing challenges and the mentors worked with the organisations to achieve some impressive results.

On April 24th artists and organisations from various arts disciplines began three days of Touring Marketing Training led by Heather Maitland, Susan Hallam and Christine Monk. These three days spaced over a total of four weeks are especially designed to arm participants with a variety of tools to improve their marketing skills. They will learn about copywriting, digital media, dealing with regional press as well as compiling a marketing plan specific to their tours needs.
Day 2 & 3 take place on May 8th and 22nd. We look forward to seeing the results of this training when the shows go on tour next year from January – June.
