Course Details

Course Summary

This micro-credential examines the core components of strategic marketing within an arts organisation. Strategic marketing articulates objectives consistent with an organisation’s goals. Marketing strategies explain how organisational resources are used to accomplish arts business objectives, pursue targeted activities, and achieve competitive advantage. Strategic marketing seeks market segmentation and product positioning to develop distribution channels and communications campaigns. 

You will explore how an arts marketing strategy is devised, executed and evaluated.

A strategic arts marketing plan is typically derived from an organisations corporate strategy or business plan. A strategic market plan summarises the methods used and the resources required to achieve corporate objectives. In this process, desired customers are targeted and competitors are identified, and the required mix of programs is conceived and adopted to ensure the marketing strategy succeeds. This includes examining how strategic arts market planning connects to an organisations opportunities and resources to identify strategic objectives and focus.
