Integrated Marketing

Integrated Marketing and Communications allows an organization to create a strategic approach to multi-channel communications that delivers a unified message to the target audience with their needs and interests in mind. I successfully work with organizations to identify their audience, fine-tune their message, and create a holistic and strategic approach to reach their objectives.

Performing Arts Marketing Plan

Client | Great Salt Lake Fringe Festival, Utah

A marketing and communication plan for a non-profit performing arts organization.

Project Highlights

  • I am experienced at data management and segmenting audiences to receive targeted and personalized communications.

  • I have worked as a project manager with diverse teams and projects using the traditional project management approach and several different digital project management software tools. I excel at motivating team members to reach their full potential and collaborate effectively.

Project Details

The Great Salt Lake Fringe Festival has been providing avant garde theatre to Utah residents since 2015. The festival has grown significantly in those years, primarily through the artists individually advertising their performances. Now that the festival has an established presence in the community, they are focused on increasing multi-performance attendance.

I worked with the festival co-director to identify objectives for the festival’s marketing and communications strategy and developed a plan to reach those objectives. I conducted a

survey and interviewed current patrons to better understand how patrons hear about and participate in the festival and used those insights and additional research to create an actionable plan for increasing their engagement and participation.

Activities included in the project

  • Conducted a survey of the target market and interviewed current patrons.

  • Analyzed existing social media audience and key performance indicators.

  • Researched best practices in performing arts marketing.

  • Developed a resource packet for festival artists.
