WHAT ARE WE HERE FOR?


“I filled out a municipal grant application not too long ago for a choir that sang mostly classical works from European sacred music

traditions. The application kept asking how I planned to allocate marketing resources toward under-served communities and I kept saying that I wouldn’t be doing that because the role of marketing is to maximize revenue / participation by spending where the yield will be greatest. To do otherwise in a small nonprofit with severely limited marketing resources would be fiscally irresponsible – and

you wouldn’t want us to be fiscally irresponsible with taxpayer money now, would you?”

Trevor O’Donnell, Marketing The Arts To Deathtrevorodonnell.com

WHY START WITH PRINT?


WHEN WE SHOULD BE DOING IT THE OTHER WAY?


WE SHOULD BE STARTING WITH DIGITAL FIRST.


“there are two rooms, the print room and the digital room — and newspapers know that they have to get

from one to the other. But they can’t just turn the lights off in one room and move to the other, and so they are currently trapped in the long dark hallway between the two, groping around trying to find a handhold. And it isn’t clear when they bump into

someone (like Twitter or Facebook) whether they are friend or foe.”

David Carr, media writer, New York Timesgigaom.com
