Publicity vs marketing - is there a difference🤔?

We’ve had conversations with lots of lovely artists over the past few months, and this question keeps coming up.

At Storytelling, we’re specialists at getting excellent coverage, and spreading the word out about your show.

But did you know we can also help you with marketing? We advise you on how to spend effectively on those all important posters, flyers and your outdoor advertising.

Social media can feel like a black hole for your budget, so let’s design a plan together, showing you how to get the most out of your Instagram and TikTok accounts.

And as Fringe experts, we know which ad placements you should be chasing - we’ll secure you the ones that pop, digitally and in print.

A brilliant marketing campaign will help you cut through the noise, drive ticket sales and build the profile of your show.
