Daragh O’Reilly

Marketing’s new ‘dominant logic’ compels organisations of all hues to collaborate with, and learn from, customers as co-creators of value. Such an imperative challenges established marketing practices in many profit-driven organisations, but vindicates the long-standing efforts of arts and heritage organisations to cast their customers as active participants in transformational experiences, rather than passive consumers of predetermined products.

This seminar, the sixth and last in the ESRC-funded ‘Rethinking Arts Marketing’ series, unites marketers, policy makers and researchers to reflect on the factors influencing and the future of Cultural Industries Marketing. Alongside thought-provoking key-notes from internationally-renowned contributors, there will be opportunities to network with like-minded professionals and academics. An important aim of the series as a whole is to broker new relationships with research potential, so come prepared to share your insights, plans and /or work-in-progress.
