Helping organisations thrive in an ever-changing world
We are living in a very different world today than we were a decade ago. Digital and social media has touched every part of our lives. Faced with more competition for their time than ever, audiences now expect more both inside and outside the concert hall.
Years of reduced funding with an expectation of greater results leaves many arts organisations and their marketing departments struggling to adapt to the demands of the digital age. It is clear that the traditional approaches won’t work in this new world.
I work with organisations brave enough to do something different, creating bespoke solutions for their unique circumstances to help them thrive in this new world.

Testimonials
Royal Scottish National Orchestra
“David really listened to what we needed as an organisation. He is a terrific facilitator who has helped us plan our future social media strategy.”
Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment
“I thoroughly enjoyed working with David. I felt that he really listened to our concerns and took the time to understand how our organisation works.
He asked lots of thought-provoking questions about our approach to social media which has inspired us to scale up our ambitions.
David is very down-to-earth and non-judgmental as a consultant and I would highly recommend him to other organisations.”
Music Network
