About this event

“You don’t need to be big to stand out, just a bit different”

The positioning concept in marketing is about how to achieve a clear distinction in the minds of your audience about what you offer. Done well, it becomes a sustainable advantage that makes you valuable to people in a way that others cannot easily copy.

A strong winning position means that when a customer needs what you offer, you are the only obvious choice. Whether you're just starting out or deep into executing a plan, a fresh look at your positioning strategy can open up many possibilities. This allows for connecting with new and existing audiences in a deeper, meaningful, and fruitful way.

Join this free webinar, and learn ways to raise the value of your marketing, and how to balance artistic output with audience appeal.

Guided by our Tech Champion for Digital Marketing and Strategy, Ollie Couling, this 60-minute webinar will cover:

  • Why strategic positioning matters in marketing.
  • Steps you can take to define and articulate your winning position.
  • Case studies from across the creative and cultural sector.
  • Practical tools and resources you can take forward.

Perfect for arts marketers, creative strategists, and cultural professionals.
