If you are a new to the creative industry or a freelancer such as a filmmaker, musician, visual artist, games designer, radio or TV writer etc then this session is a MUST for you!
Author and CinemaTech editor Scott Kirsner will hold an interactive and intensive workshop titled ‘Building an Audience and a Creative Career in the Digital Age’ on how creative artists can cultivate big audiences and earn a solid return from their work.
Scott’s workshop will avoid jargon and, assuming a reasonable level of familiarity with the internet, will focus on how you can:
• Start building an audience as soon as you commit to your project
• Use social media tools to get the audience engaged, involved, and supporting your work
• Choose the communication channels that work best for you
• Use your time effectively
• Reach potential audience members via blogs, podcasts, e-mail lists, and video series
• Understand the four kinds of fans
• Build, manage, and geotag your audience database
• Create a range of merchandise, physical and digital, for fans to buy
• Turn people interested in your work into fans who support you economically, from one project to the next.
Expect to be inspired and challenged, but also armed with real practical tips.
PLUS
Afternoon Workshop – 2pm till 4pm (Optional)
Scott has agreed to stay around for this extra session and will be joined by one of North West Vision and Media’s team of trained Media Development Professionals, Krishna Stott, Director, Producer and Writer of Interactive Media. Together they will facilitate a 2 hour practical session to enable the ‘conversion’ of the morning’s ‘tips’ into a personal action plan.
