Marketing Strategy for the Arts, Third Edition is targeted at students in higher education who plan on working in a creative industry or a cultural organization. Because such companies are talent or values-driven, marketing must present a brand image that focuses equally on the producer and the product. Strategy for such a company must consider market opportunities, but it must also consider the mission and values of the organization.
Aimed at students with little or no prior marketing knowledge, the book outlines a step-by-step framework for effective product marketing. The book will bring together information on strategic planning, market research, goal setting, marketing theory, and developing and communicating the competitive advantage and brand image. After reading this third edition, students will be able to construct a strategic marketing plan based on meeting specific organizational goals. Their plan will include detailed objectives and tactics to achieve the strategic vision.
This third edition has additional coverage on how technology and AI have affected strategy, value creation in a time of rising costs, need for strategic flexibility due to rapidly changing external conditions and the use of social media data and sentiment to assess consumer behavior and desires.
“A timely and insightful guide for navigating today’s complex creative economy. Dr. Kolb skillfully blends marketing theory with practical tools, offering students and practitioners a strategic roadmap for promoting cultural and artistic organizations in a digital and socially conscious age.”
Fevzi Okumus, Pegasus Professor & CFHLA Preeminent Chair Professor, Rosen College of Hospitality Management, University of Central Florida, USA
"In a world where art and the market dance together with a complicated rhythm, Dr Kolb’s Marketing Strategies for the Creative and Cultural Industries arrives not as a textbook, but as a compass, guiding creative professionals, cultural managers, and the everyday makers to translate their art into the language of the markets. With theoretical frameworks that feel more like choreography than cold analysis, she teaches us how to move in harmony with audiences and how to use data to serve inspiration. What makes this book extraordinary is its unwavering belief in the value of creativity - not as a commodity, but as a force of transformation. For any creative maker yearning to be seen and heard but also for all the cultural institutions around the globe seeking impact and sustainability, this book is both scholarly and soulful, passionate and pragmatic, a symphony of insight for the creators who want to powerfully claim their place in the world."
