Consulting virtually.

(GBR/USA) We are double-pleased to announce our new client, Bristol Riverside Theatre whom we’ll working with on their social media operations and forward strategy.

After seeing me do a talk/masterclass last year the theatre was successful in applying to the The Philadelphia Foundation for some funding and we’re really looking forward to the challenge.

There are a couple of fun thing about this project:

• it extends our work with venues (see Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse and Kings Place), plus
• as the theatre is based in Pennsylvania, across the pond in the good ole USofA, it expands our experience of working virtually (see Pacific Youth Project)

As ever, we’ll blog about the process here.
