Current issues in Arts Marketing

Special issue call for papers from Marketing Intelligence and Planning

It is becoming increasingly evident through conference tracks and publications in general marketing and management journals that the area of arts marketing is growing, both in terms of academic members and wider importance in the marketing field (see for example Fillis, 2004; Holbrook, 2005; O’Reilly, 2005, Schroeder, 2005; Bradshaw and Holbrook, 2007).

The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide a showcase for cutting edge contemporary research in the field of arts marketing. Papers are particularly encouraged that contribute to the academic debate and also demonstrate practical application for arts marketing practitioners and artists. Specific topics might include the following, but papers of good quality on any appropriate arts marketing related issue would be welcome.

  • The nature of marketing and its fit with the arts
  • Marketing orientation and the arts
  • Strategic arts marketing issues
  • Marketing and consumption of all art forms regardless of their conventional categorisation (e.g. ‘for’ and ‘not for profit’; high art and popular culture)
  • Arts branding
  • Researching arts audiences
  • Defining and delivering customer value in the arts
  • Creativity and innovation in the arts organisation
  • Marketing strategy: the artist and artistic organisation
  • International issues in the arts
  • Moving beyond the art vs. commerce debate
  • Co-creation of the arts
  • Performing identity: artist and audiences
  • Digital media and arts provision
  • Synergising academic and practitioner research in arts marketing
  • Moving beyond metaphorical application of the arts in marketing

The deadline for submission is 1st November 2008
