How can arts and cultural organisations and artists use short form content to cut through the noise and maintain and build connections with audiences?

Lockdown has been a game changer in terms of the willingness of everyone to do more online, and presents artists and organisations with the opportunity to engage with potential audiences they may never have encountered before, and also to check in with those that might usually come through their doors or even just admire their work from afar.

But how do you cut through all the noise in what’s an even busier space than usual online? What are the existing and emerging ‘best practice’ tips for creating great social media content and what are the lessons we’ve learned from lockdown?

Our speakers offer ideas, guidance and some fundamental dos and don’ts around developing and sharing great short form content, primarily social media content, post-pandemic but also in a way which is sustainable for you and your organisation.

 

We covered:

• What are the key trends we’re noticing due to the current situation in terms of online cultural engagement and what can we learn from these?
• What might success look like for you?
• Key principles and tips for great short form social content
• Practical tips for creating and working with existing content within the current constraints
