So the show has been cast; rehearsals are already in full swing… but whether it’s the Edinburgh fringe, the Brighton fringe, or any of the many others – marketing your show is such an important component to a succesfull run at the fringe! It doesn’t matter if your cast is incredible, the play is ground breaking… with no audience – is it really worth it? This one day workshop will make sure people know about you and what you have been working so hard on!
Marketing a show on the fringe can feel tiring, and verging on impossible with the thousands of other shows and actors trying to do just the same – fear not! There are plenty of successful and exciting ideas out there – you’ve just got to be as creative with your marketing ideas as you have been with your show!This workshop will cover the various marketing options available to fringe theatre – how to market on a budget, what works well, new ideas to share, and all round advice. We’ll look at success stories of each different marketing approach and help you develop a tailored marketing strategy for your production.
