In diesem Gespräch geht es um die Herausforderungen und Strategien im Marketing, insbesondere in Bezug auf Attribution, Branding und die Bedeutung von Personalisierung. Björn & Philipp diskutieren die Rolle von Sichtbarkeit und Branding im Marketing-Mix und hebt die Wichtigkeit kultureller Unterschiede bei der Ansprache von Kunden hervor. Zudem wird die Messbarkeit von SEO im Vergleich zu anderen Marketingkanälen thematisiert. In dieser Diskussion wird die Bedeutung der Kundenzentrierung im Marketing hervorgehoben, wobei betont wird, dass Marketing mehr ist als nur Werbung. Es wird diskutiert, wie Unternehmen Daten nutzen können, um personalisierte Marketingstrategien zu entwickeln und wie wichtig es ist, verschiedene Kanäle effektiv zu integrieren, um eine konsistente Markenbotschaft zu kommunizieren. Praktische Beispiele und Strategien zur Nutzung von Datenanalysen werden ebenfalls vorgestellt. Takeaways Verantwortung ist ein zentraler Wert in Nadines Leben. Die Effektivität von Marketing hängt von vielen Faktoren ab. Kanal und Recency sind nur 30 % der Werbewirkung. Share of Search ist ein wichtiger Indikator für Umsatz. Marke steht für ein Wertebündel beim Konsumenten. Kundensegmentierung ist entscheidend für die Ansprache. Cultural Management ist wichtig für den Erfolg. SEO ist schwieriger messbar als Performance-Kampagnen. Search-Daten zeigen frühzeitig Konsumtrends. Die Botschaften im Marketing sind nicht neu, nur die Kanäle. Marketing ist Kundenzentrierung, nicht nur Werbung. Die Botschaft ist entscheidend für den Erfolg. Datenanalyse ist entscheidend für personalisierte Marketingstrategien. Kampagnen sollten über verschiedene Kanäle konsistent sein. Verstehen, was der Konsument wirklich will, ist entscheidend. CTR-Optimierung allein führt nicht zu mehr Verkäufen. Daten können helfen, Produktionszyklen zu optimieren. Markenbotschaften sollten an den Kanal angepasst werden. Die Integration von Datenanalysen in die Entscheidungsfindung ist wichtig.

 Podcast InformationGraphic: Shownotes: THE MODERN CRONESeason 5: The Spirit of Love with PhD Student and Commentator on Gender and Sexuality Representation in Australian Film and Society, Issey KaneIssey Kane, is a PhD student at the University of Melbourne who is researching the intersection of public and cultural policy to explore the fifty year-long project that is curating Australia's national identity through film. Raised in Singapore from an early age, Issey embarked on her academic journey at the Australian International School before graduating from the International Baccalaureate program in 2016. She pursued her passion for the arts, earning a Bachelor of Arts with majors in Media and Communication and Film and Cultural Studies from the University of Melbourne. Continuing her scholarly pursuits, she obtained a Master of Arts and Cultural Management in 2022 and has just begun her PhD as of February 2024 after spending a semester teaching at the University in film and visual media classes.  Beyond the surface of cinema, Issey's research delves deep into the nuances of representations and aesthetics within National Cinemas. Her focus lies in deciphering the cultural resonance embedded in films and understanding their impact on audiences. Of particular interest to her, as a lesbian, is the portrayal of gender and sexuality in these national films, and the industrial landscape that shapes their narratives through policy on funding, distribution, and exhibition. Through her work, Issey strives to uncover the intricate connections between film, culture, and identity, shedding light on the broader socio-political landscape of Australia through a contemporary and historical lens. Join us as we explore Issey's journey as a young lesbian in today's world and the subtle prejudices that still exist; the queer identity in public spaces; the importance of self-censorship when travelling; the continuous nature of 'coming out' in a hetero-normative standard of most societies; the impact of Pride and D&I movements for young gay lovers; the impact of institutional gender dynamics; what's the best way to navigate the queer gender labels; the importance of honest representation of self and listening…and so much more! The Modern Crone team -Theme music and season intro tracks:Sam Joole: www.samjoole.comCover design and photographyLuana Suciuhttps://www.instagram.com/luanasuciu/Luanasuciu@gmail.com Voice editing:Christopher Hales - Mask Music Studiosmaskmusicstudios@outlook.com

Things and Ideas of Community in the Literary Works of Matthias Zschokke.

Recorded April 25, 2023. An in-person seminar by Trinity Long Room Hub Visiting Research Fellow Prof Dariusz Komorowski (University of Wroclaw) as part of the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultural Studies Seminar Series. After decades of being trapped in discourse, where signs referred to other signs rather than reality, sentences were quotations or paraphrases of other sentences, and texts built on other texts, permanently questioning their own meaning and truth, a need for stability beyond discourse emerged in the 1990s. One turned to matter, which was reawakened from its slumber to join man as a reliable partner. Bruno Latour, Michel Callon and John Law played a special role in this context. They wanted to abolish the traditional dichotomy of world perception with the opposition of nature and culture or subject and object and to establish a symmetry in its place. In the symmetrical conception of the world, human and nonhuman actors have agancy that no longer needs to be intentional and rationally motivated. In this talk, Komorowski will first examine the role things play in Matthias Zschokke's work and how the Swiss author perceives them. On this basis, the question of whether and how things contribute as effective actors to the creation of communities will be explored. In this respect, Komorowski links to the question of the representation of ideas about communities in time, when modernity becomes liquid (Bauman) and the lost metanarratives can no longer give support to individual stories (Lyotard). Here we draw on actor-network theory, which, originally developed as a sociological method, rather quickly found application in other disciplines of humanities. Whether and possibly to what extent and with what insight potential ANT can be applied in literary analysis is one of the aims of his investigation. Dariusz Komorowski is a Professor of German Philology at the University of Wroclaw in Poland. Since 2005 he has been the Head of the Research Centre for German-Swiss Literature and since 2017 the co-originator and editor-in-chief of the online magazine “CH-Studien. Zeitschrift zu Literatur und Kultur aus der Schweiz” which he leads in cooperation with Anna Fattori (Rome) and Jan Jambor (Prešov). From 2012 to 2018 he was the Head of the postgraduate studies in “Cultural Management in the Cooperation of Regions of the European Union" at the University of Wroclaw. Dariusz Komorowski has conducted seminars and given lectures at the universities in Göttingen, Zurich and Maribor and organised several international seminars for master students in cooperation with those universities.

In the first of a 2 part podcast, Professor Ana Laura López de la Torre discusses the history and democratic structures of the Universidad de la República, Uruguay with Sophie Hope. Ana Laura López de la Torre is a Professor in the Facultad de Artes, Universidad de la República, Montevideo, Uruguay and for 2022-23 is an Honorary Research Fellow with the School of Arts, Birkbeck. She has an established participatory arts and research practice established between 2000 and 2012 when she lived and worked in London, with major commissions from the ICA, Whitechapel Gallery, Gasworks, Tate Modern and South London Gallery, La Casa Encendida (Spain), de kunstbank (Belgium) and Demokratische Kunstwochen (Switzerland). She also worked as Associate Lecturer at the University of the Arts, London. Since moving back to Uruguay in 2012 she has been the Director of the Centro Cultural Florencio Sánchez, a public cultural centre in Cerro, a historical neighbourhood in the periphery of Montevideo. She continued to develop her participatory arts practice in the region, developing projects related to community-based organisation, cultural democracy and environmental struggles in Uruguay, Argentina, Chile and Brazil. From 2012 to 2015 she was the Coordinator of the first Uruguayan postgraduate course in Cultural Management, at the Espacio Interdisciplinario of the Universidad de la República, where she still teaches and is part of its Academic Advisory Board. In her current post at the Universidad de la República, she leads a department specialised in community-based art, and within this department she is Coordinator of two interdisciplinary research groups: Naturaleza, Sociedad y Arte (exploring human / more-than-human relationship in urban communities) and ACTO (Art, Organised Communities and Territories). The Universidad de la República is the public university of Uruguay. Founded in 1849, it enrols over 150 thousand students annually. It offers free tuition at undergraduate and postgraduate level in all disciplines and fields of knowledge. With its main infrastructure in Montevideo, over the last 30 years the university has embarked in a decentralisation process, creating 10 university campuses in different cities. Although fully funded by the state, the autonomy of the university's governance was enshrined in a national law in 1958 following 20 years of organised action by students. The governing bodies of all the Faculties and Institutes (and its central authorities) are democratically elected, with representation of teachers, students and graduate bodies, all academic, political and managerial decisions are taken by these bodies. Voting is compulsory and takes place every 4 years. The term ‘university democracy' encompasses this form of self-governance, which over the decades has produced the ethical guides that rule academic life.

In this dialogue Prof Christo Doherty of ARA speaks to Prof Brett Pyper, the Principal Investigator on the ARA project and the leader of a major interdisciplinary research project based on popular manifestations of jazz culture in South Africa. Currently called the Cosmopolitan Collective, the project has evolved over the last 17 years from an initial study of township jazz appreciation societies in urban Gauteng, through a creative engagement with jazz cosmopolitanism in Accra in Ghana, to become a multi-facetted research project that is using a range of creative methodologies to explore and expand the status of jazz as heritage in South Africa. Currently an Associate Professor in the History of Art department in the Wits School of Arts, Brett is a cultural practitioner, arts administrator, festival director, music researcher and academic. He grew up in Pretoria, now Tswane, and completed an interdisciplinary BA in music and cultural studies at the University of South Africa. He began his career as a facilitator of developmental music projects during the transition from apartheid, before taking up a Fulbright scholarship to study in the US, where he was based for six years. He holds a Master's degree in Public Culture from Emory University in Atlanta, and a PhD in Ethnomusicology and Popular Music Studies from New York University. Between 2005 and 2007 he headed the Division of Heritage Studies and Cultural Management in the Wits School of Arts, incorporating the Centre for Cultural Policy and Management. From 2008 to 2013, he was CEO of the Klein Karoo National Arts Festival (Absa KKNK), one of South Africa's major festivals of art, popular and vernacular culture, which takes place annually at Easter time in the town of Oudtshoorn in the rural Western Cape. He returned to the Wits in 2014 to take up the headship of the School of Arts, which he led until 2021. In this discussion we cover the influence of Prof Steven Feld's "Jazz Cosmopolitanism" project in Accra, and the ways in which the South African project was a response to Feld's work with Ghanian musicians. We look at the impact of the Covid-19 restrictions which scuppered the planned collaboration between Accra and the Johannesburg and the reasons for the choice of Cosmologies as the working title for the South African project. We examine the ways that the project managed the Covid restrictions for their ground-breaking 2020 live concert at Wits, involving creative contributions from staff and students together with South African jazz musicians. We discuss the contribution made to the concert by the local “diga” dance improvisors and significance of such embodied responses for the post-apartheid cultural project in South Africa. We then unpack the surprising motivation for renaming the project as the Cosmopolitan Collective and look more closely at the four distinct streams of practice that have come to be featured in the research collaboration of the Collective.

This event was streamed live at The Institute of World Politics, D.C. on Thursday, October 13, 2022. About the Lecture In the world of espionage, North Korea remains one of the hardest targets as it remains the most reclusive and enigmatic communist regime on the planet. The question remains, then, how did North Korea develop its Modus Operandi (M.O.) in order to achieve its ultimate foreign policy goal? – which is the “revolutionization” of South Korea through reunification under Kim Jong Un. In this lecture, first, North Korea's exploitation of its unique Juche ideology as a tool of indoctrination will be discussed – specifically, North Korea's totalitarian and monolithic dictatorial system, known as suryong, meaning Supreme Leader, will be assessed. Second, the evolution of North Korea's conduct of espionage during and after the Cold-War will be highlighted, including traditional espionage operations – recruitment of South Koreans – as well as special operations, such as terrorist attacks. Third, several cases of North Korea's exploitation of its intelligence officers will be addressed – those who were brainwashed to sacrifice their lives for the sake of the regime until their defection to the U.S. or South Korea to pursue their life of freedom. About the Speaker Dr. Amanda Jihyun Won recently graduated from The Institute of World Politics' (IWP) Doctor of Statecraft and National Security (DSNS) program, and has been serving as Director of the China Asia Program at IWP since September 2022. Amanda is also the founder of IWP's Asia Initiative Lecture Series (AILS) through which diverse scholar-practitioners have presented their expertise on Asia.

This week on Yes But Why, I chatted with Joe Thompson, an improv performer and teacher based out of Sheffield, UK. Joe Thompson started his improv career 9 years ago at the University of Sheffield, where he joined and later became Artistic Director of the university improv society ‘The Shrimps'. Since then, he has been featured in the Leicester Comedy Award nominated long form group ‘Scriptless in Seattle' and performed at the Y-Not Festival with Sturike Comedy. Joe's interest in improv is academic as well – he got his Masters in Arts and Cultural Management and his thesis examined hierarchies within improv communities! (I've got to read that paper!) These days, you can find Joe running monthly nights with his production company Little Chicago as well as teaching and performing at various venues throughout the UK. Joe Thompson currently co-runs and teaches improv with the Spontaneity and Sheffield Steel (SASS Improv) theater group alongside improv colleague, Owen Scrivens.In our conversation, we first explored different styles of storytelling. We did a particular deep dive on JJ Abrams, who I really love! (oh hey, watch out because there are How I Met Your Mother spoilers in the opening discussion). Joe told me how the Pokemon shows he watched as a kid inspired him to create his own storylines at home when playing with his toys. We talk about immersive games and “playing narratively not competitively.” Joe and I connected on so many levels; this was a great conversation about creating art in our current cultural landscape. A big topic that came up multiple times was how sometimes making money with your art can affect the art that you create. We discussed how to find your own voice as an artist.

This week on Yes But Why, I chatted with Joe Thompson, an improv performer and teacher based out of Sheffield, UK. Joe Thompson started his improv career 9 years ago at the University of Sheffield, where he joined and later became Artistic Director of the university improv society ‘The Shrimps'. Since then, he has been featured in the Leicester Comedy Award nominated long form group ‘Scriptless in Seattle' and performed at the Y-Not Festival with Sturike Comedy. Joe's interest in improv is academic as well – he got his Masters in Arts and Cultural Management and his thesis examined hierarchies within improv communities! (I've got to read that paper!) These days, you can find Joe running monthly nights with his production company Little Chicago as well as teaching and performing at various venues throughout the UK. Joe Thompson currently co-runs and teaches improv with the Spontaneity and Sheffield Steel (SASS Improv) theater group alongside improv colleague, Owen Scrivens. In our conversation, we first explored different styles of storytelling. We did a particular deep dive on JJ Abrams, who I really love! (oh hey, watch out because there are How I Met Your Mother spoilers in the opening discussion). Joe told me how the Pokemon shows he watched as a kid inspired him to create his own storylines at home when playing with his toys. We talk about immersive games and “playing narratively not competitively.” Joe and I connected on so many levels; this was a great conversation about creating art in our current cultural landscape. A big topic that came up multiple times was how sometimes making money with your art can affect the art that you create. We discussed how to find your own voice as an artist.

To understand organizational culture, consider this analogy from the late author and novelist David Foster Wallace. Here's how it goes: A big fish meets a little fish and asks “how's the water?” In response, the little fish say's “what's water?” The water is like organizational culture, which is slightly different than how we talk about culture in a broader sense.  So in the fish and water analogy, organizational culture is the water we swim in. If we apply this to the workplace, it's common that we don't truly appreciate or understand our organizational cultures until we leave them and enter a new job with an entirely different workplace environment with unfamiliar work styles, values, and systems. Quite simply, workplace cultures matter greatly for organizations that want a competitive advantage. We've come to understand that 360-degree perspective provided by people from different backgrounds and walks of life stoke innovation. When organizations are homogenous, the perspectives tend to be homogenous as well.We invite you to listen to this episode of Becoming Inclusive with special guests DEI experts Gradiola Kapaj and Trisha Carter now. You can also subscribe to the podcast, which airs weekly, and offers a wide array of diverse voices and perspectives offered by leading-edge DEI subject matter experts.

I'm overwhelmed to think of all (“Culture Fancier” aka) Glodeane Brown's done/is doing, for art and to the artist's benefit, to the whole art community's benefit. 5 years ago in March, Culture Fancier was born. It's an amazing art blog for the Waterloo Region; spotlighting, showcasing and chatting with the artists (and others) behind every museum, gallery, novel, painting, installation, album, independent film and more, in the region & beyond.. Way to get your weekly output dwarfed, EVERY built-in art section in the region's press, COMBINED! In fact, Culture Fancier has led to professional column gigs, as well as opportunities to cover art outside of the region.. it's certainly gained Glodeane much deserved admiration among hundreds of artists whose work was turned on to people through the blog, and hundreds more who seek to have their work ‘culture-fancied'.. I just riffed that, it might catch on. In the time that the blog's started and built itself into what it is now and always has been (fantastic), Glodeane completed a post-grad at Humber College for Arts Administration & Cultural Management, taken on various roles in CAFKA's biennial (with all that's involved between events and behind the scenes); CAFKA (Contemporary Art Forum Kitchener and Area) being a huge art exhibit spread across WR's public space (I've seen it, it's intense and amazing). Now that I've scratched the surface.. Did I mention that I'm lucky enough to know Glodeane, because I was also lucky enough to regularly share the stage with lovely singer/songwriters Christen Latham and Matt Lees at the dive-iest dive, the early-mid 2000s Circus Room? Did I mention she's found a way to offer moral support and followed everything I've done creatively over the years since? Did I mention she once got debilitatingly anti-social (then) me on to the dance floor at a friend's wedding back in the day - cause she's that cool? Not to make it about the past, but as I wrap up TDS, I can't go without shouting about how awesome my brilliant and hard-working friend is and always has been.. with all the gratitude I feel while typing it. Now you can listen to me say it all on iTunes or whatever and even more inarticulate!

Dr Mdluli is the Manager and Chief Curator of the Standard Bank Gallery in Johannesburg and an Associate Researcher in the Wits School of Arts. She is an artist, art historian and writer, and holds a PhD in History of Art, and an MA in Arts and Cultural Management, both from Wits University, and a B-Tech degree in Fine Arts (cum laude) from the University of Johannesburg. She has worked as an administrator at the Goodman Gallery in Johannesburg and other art projects, and has also participated in a number of international residencies including at the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles and the INHA in Paris. Her research interests are in contemporary African art, black expressive modes and aesthetics as well as the conversations between jazz and visual art. Dr Mdluli also serves as an advisory council member for the South African Arts Council. When Dr Mdluli was appointed to manage the Standard Bank Gallery in 2018, the Bank’s Head of Brand, Sponsorships and Events announced that “Dr Mdluli brings a visionary energy to the role.” She went on to say that “We are convinced that Dr Mdluli will help us take the gallery to a new level of leadership as a stakeholder institution of the art industry in the country and beyond. Her leadership as a respected creative and academic, along with her easy accessibility will surely help to open the doors to more people to fall in love and support art in our country.” All those qualities were very much in evidence during our conversation which ranged from her work as curator, in particular her first major exhibition for the gallery - "A Black Aesthetic" of 2019 - to her engagement with the rural-urban divide in South African art, to her analysis of the obstacles to real transformation in the South African art industry.

Natasha Rivett-Carnac is a curator and writer with a focus on arts & culture, and education. She runs a blog that supports writers and other creatives to find practical and artistic resources about motherhood. She is a home educator. Until COVID, her family split their school year between Costa Rica and the UK. Her family also participated in The Greenhouse, an outdoor education project The Daily Mail called “Britain’s most hipster school”. I loved how Natasha talked about how words and pictures split for her and for most people, but how she’s bringing them back together. She thinks of drawing as language and uses words as drawing, combining them in her visual artwork and bouncing between visual art-making and writing as creative pursuits. Her focus on personalized education as a primary reason for homeschooling really resonated. We talked about the overlap in theory of TAB (Teaching for Artistic Behavior) and this method of letting children initiate their own questions as a way of learning. She articulated so well the idea of curating the learning experience - creating the environment for learning to happen and occasionally adding new and exciting materials or ideas into it. I’m excited to see how the workshops she’s thinking about and nurturing come into being. She is published in The International Journal of the Arts in Society, Edinburgh University’s Dangerous Woman Project, Resurgence magazine, and elsewhere. Her project Doing Nothing, a collaboration with London-based photographer Grace Gelder, documents Natasha’s experience of early motherhood in Bonn, Germany. It was presented at Carlyle University’s Visualising the Home conference, and is archived at Goldsmith University’s Women’s Library. Natasha supported Chief Curator Jane Trowell at Platform London on the exhibition C Words: Climate, Capital, Culture at Arnolfini in Bristol (UK), one of the leading contemporary art centres in Europe. The exhibition also included a programme of over 80 events and workshops. She has an MA in Arts & Cultural Management from Dartington College of Arts in the UK, and a BA in Interdisciplinary Art: Violin Performance, Visual Art, and Creative Writing from the University of Minnesota. Natasha is originally from Minneapolis and currently lives in Somerset in the UK with her husband and two children.

In the journey towards becoming an anti-racist organization, the team at Fractured Atlas talk a lot about doing the work. But what exactly do they mean by "the work?" Is reading part of the work? Are workshops in diversity, equity, and inclusion part of the work?

In episode 1 of the Advocating for Athletes series, Abbie Hillis is hosted by Meghan Romere, who was also a co-founder of the 12th Woman. In this episode, Abbie Hillis specifically shares her experience at Capital Gymnastics in Austin, TX as both an athlete and as a coach. She describes her experiences as the subject of emotional abuse by different coaches throughout her gymnastics career, and describes stories of abuse she witnessed as an adult and coach. The series then dives into a coach’s perspective on the culture with gymnastics and high-level sports and how, as a coach, it is hard to be an advocate when so many still treat athletes the wrong way.  Abbie then transitions to share her story of her assault and how reporting it to Texas A&M University and College Station Police Department did nothing. She shares the issues that still exist within the administration at Texas A&M and how even though there has been change, there can still be more.  Ultimately, Abbie is an example of an everyday athlete and college student and wants to share her story to show other's that you don't need to be famous for your story to be heard. Sharing and demanding change in numbers creates change and that is Abbie's hope.   Learn more about Abbie:  Abbie is an experienced event planner and marketing professional committed to helping others live the life they are capable of living by creating work and business that is driven by passion and investing in others. She is the owner of an event and marketing firm, Gro Group, and its sister company, ACH Events, a wedding planning business.

Politiikassa on pitkään puhuttu tarpeesta tutkittuun tietoon perustuvalle päätöksenteolle. Näin myös kulttuuripolitiikassa. Tutkittua tietoa on jo olemassa paljon ja monet tutkijat ja tahot tuottavat sitä lisää. Cuporen erikoistutkijan, Yhteiskuntatieteiden tohtori, Kulttuuripolitiikan tutkimuksen vuosikirjan päätoimittaja Minna Ruusuvirran mielestä tutkimuseettinen kysymys on, miten tuo tieto tutkimuksista saadaan leviämään päättäjille ja alan toimijoille. Aina kyse ei ole vain puuttuvasta tiedosta, vaan myös asenteista ja päättäjäorganisaation sisällä syntyneistä kulttuurin siiloon kohdistuvista lasikatoista. Minnan mukaan sekä valtion että kuntien tasolla kulttuuripolitiikan näkökulman on vaikea päästä läpi kulttuurin toimintakentän ulkopuolelle. Tämä on kuitenkin tällä hetkellä hänen mukaansa monissa kaupungeissa tärkeä kysymys, koska kulttuurin rooli laajemmin kaupunkikehityksessä ja paikalliskehityksessä kasvaa koko ajan. Minna on tehnyt pitkään kulttuuripoliittista tutkimusta Kulttuuripolitiikan tutkimuskeskus Cuporessa. Tutkijana häntä kiinnostavat taiteen ja kulttuurin rakenteet ja rahoitus, kolmas sektori, kuntien kulttuuritoiminta sekä taide- ja kulttuurilaitokset. Does sector matter? Plural characteristics and logics in third sector festival organisations -väitöskirjassaan Minna tutki kolmannen sektorin festivaaliorganisaatioiden markkinoistumista ja ammattimaistumista. Puhumme Minnan kanssa siiloista, tutkijan arjesta, Cuporesta, kulttuuripolitiikasta ja sen asemasta, kulttuuripolitiikan tutkimuksen tärkeydestä, festivaaleista sekä yhteistyön ja verkostojen tarpeesta.

Fractured Atlas is a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting artists, creatives, and makers with the things they need to succeed and thrive. About five years ago, the organization committed itself to a journey of becoming an anti-racist, anti-oppressive organization. In this episode, we chat with Courtney Harge and Nicola Carpenter, two people who have been deeply involved in that work. We’ll explore some frequently asked questions they receive about the work and journey. We'll also discuss how unlimited vacation days, shared leadership, and fully virtual organizations can further this work, while at the same time creating new and different challenges. Lauren and Tim then reflect on how the ARAO work intersects with their three years together working as part of the organization's four-person, shared, non-hierarchical leadership team and the personal journey of their coworkers. Then, in a seemingly random yet related tangent, Lauren discusses why Celine Dion is the only brand to back. 01:07 Courtney Harge & Nicola Carpenter 47:34 Lauren Ruffin COURTNEY HARGE is an arts administrator, director, and writer originally from Saginaw, MI who has been working in the service of artists for the last fifteen years.

NICOLA CARPENTER works on the People team at Fractured Atlas, where she finds ways for tools and processes to better align with the organization’s purpose. She believes in tools so much that she sets personal OKRs every quarter. Prior to joining Fractured Atlas, Nicola worked for a variety of arts organizations including MoMA PS1, Walker Art Center, and Heidelberger Kunstverein, and she still has a particular love for museums. Originally from Minneapolis, she received a BFA in Art from the University of Minnesota and continues to stay creative through knitting and sewing clothes.

It’s one thing to understand the potential of art to impact our everyday lives, its quite another to provide the drive to make it happen. As an Arts Professional, Tom Higham facilitates festivals, art projects and events. His role is to link us, the audience, with the art. It’s an arts organisation’s job, he says, to find something that we can connect to.By his own admission, he coasted through education until the combination of dead-end job and volunteering at film festivals provided the lightbulb moment. After a Masters in Cultural Management, his career rapidly evolved as he worked with artists, developers, designers, arts organisations and policy makers all over the world to curate and produce ambitious artworks and creative projects. Most recently, and closer to home for us, he’s taking on the role of Creative Director at York Mediale. He says: ‘’I am interested in the enabling power of digital technology, and inspired by well-considered, simple and effective ideas and artworks.’’ Ideal, then, for the Mediale with its strapline ‘’Art, Meet the Future.’’It’s through York’s 2018 Mediale that Tom’s and Stage One’s paths first crossed. Sitting between us and the artists whose work we help to create, we were interested to find out more about his role, perspective and thoughts on working in the creative industries. We’re joined in this episode by Mediale Chair, Tim Leigh, who also happens to be Stage One’s Sales and Marketing Director.
