For marketing and communications staff, promoting and publicizing a new work can feel like both a limitless playground and an uphill battle. The uniqueness of a new work can provide many opportunities for publicity and generate excitement among jaded patrons. But the unfamiliarity of title, story and music can make new work a tough sell – especially when production photos, audio recordings or videos are not in your toolbox. In this session, we’ll explore ways to engage current and new audiences throughout the creation process, capitalize on publicity opportunities and develop resources for marketing these new works.

This session is one of several breakout sessions held concurrently during the New Works Forum.

The New Works Forum is made possible by a generous and deeply appreciated grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Advance registration required. No additional fee.
