Overview

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. This will begin by exploring the fabric of a corporate strategy, followed by the development of a strategic arts marketing strategy and plan. From a value creation perspective, you will evaluate the competitive advantage and potential marketplace for the product your organisation offers. This will involve you exploring how marketing strategies are 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. An important aspect of the arts marketing strategy roles concerns identifying relevant market segments, targeting, brand prioritising and positioning.
