Measuring ROI (return on investment)Carol Jones / Roger Tomlinson
Reviewing the impact and ROI (return on investment) of marketing techniques is a key ingredient in planning more effective strategic campaigns.
This workshop will move us on to explore how to measure whether or not our campaigns and initiatives are proving successful.
Which elements / tools are helping us meet our objectives and which need to be developed or adapted in future campaigns in order to achieve the desired result and ensure optimum return on investment?
Delegates will consider the objectives and key performance indicators for their own digital campaigns and will explore what tools (across traditional and new media channels) are available to help them analyse whether or not they are meeting these.
Module two MONDAY 1PM
I found the retreat incredibly valuable and quite a journey of discovery. Rebecca Davis, Audience Development Officer, craftscotland

Module four
Branding
Chris Denton, Consultant (previously Head of Marketing at Barbican) Chris will explore best practice with regard to branding for arts organisations.
Getting your branding and positioning right can have a huge impact on your organisation’s ability to develop audiences, visitors, income and stakeholder support.
In times of rapid change, developing a brand which resonates with people and stands out as relevant and inspiring is crucial to remaining a significant part of your community or target market.
Packed with fascinating case studies from arts organisations across the world, Chris will share his experience in developing a brand or brand portfolio and will introduce a tried-and-tested process for revitalising your own organisation’s brand.

Module five
Adapting the communications strategy
Jo Taylor / Chris Denton
This is a key session which will pull together a lot of the ideas explored so far and combine it with a big dose of creative thinking to help you revise and update your approach to communicating with your audiences / visitors.
The session will revisit the communications mix in light of:
- the thoughts presented in the morning around the role of branding and positioning and how to define and communicate the core purpose of your organisation,
- the audience context – how our understanding of audiences and their
motivations has become more sophisticated and the influence this could have on our marketing strategy,
- and the business context – the financial imperative and how this can be successfully combined with the artistic / public need,
It will leave you with a framework for approaching communications strategies for your company, a major event or exhibition, and ongoing or smaller campaigns.

Module six WEDNESDAY 9AM
The emerging manager’s toolkit
Helen MacKintoshManagement consultant and accredited coach
New managers are often thrown in at the deep end and expected to know what to do – whether it’s managing your own time or a reluctant team member,ensuring everyone is clear on priorities, or involving the team in the development of a strategic plan.
This workshop will explore what ‘management’ means in practice, look at some answers to the challenges of managing relationships at work – up, down, sideways – and will build on some line management techniques to help you develop effective listening and influencing skills.
It was an amazing experience - well executed, smoothly run and extremely rich in content. Thank you so much to all involved! After AMA retreat level one in March 2011.

Collaborate with peers to solve real-life marketing and audience development challenges.
The marketing strategy exercise will involve delegates working together, collaborating with peers from across a range of different art forms, to solve mar-keting campaign planning challenges.
Each group will be given case study material from a fictional arts organisa-tion. The group will need to select from the strategic planning tools provided in the earlier workshop sessions, and / or
Marketing strategy working groups
can use their own creative ideas and approaches to develop appropriate mar-keting campaign(s) based on the brief.
The working groups will be asked to put their strategic marketing planning skills to the test to outline a plan in response to the brief. You will be sent the fictional case study in advance.
On the final day, each group will present their recommendations and plans to the rest of the cohort. This will be followed by a discussion on the key themes and ideas arising from the presentations.
Each day you will have time to reflect on how the theory relates to your own mar-keting activity, explore how to improve this and how to overcome any audience development challenges you might face.

I just wanted to say how immensely useful and enjoyable I found the retreat. It was confidence boosting, informative, inspir-ing and good fun. Networking with peers from across the country helped us all to realise that others felt the same frustrations and had the same challenges, and allowed us to work together to find ways of overcoming these. This course came at the right time in my career and personal development and I have come away from it feeling enthusiastic and ready to push myself.Lesley Watson, Marketing OfficerNational Theatre of Scotland
