Online Courses

Art Meets Strategy is a learning community for arts and culture professionals wearing the “marketing hat.” Through workshops, resources, and courses, we share practical tools that can be applied right away. Topics include strategy, storytelling, social media, and visual content, all grounded in the real-world constraints of arts organizations. You’ll leave with tools, direction, and systems that make the work more focused and manageable, without the overwhelm.

Branding

Branding is more than a logo. It’s how people understand who you are and what you stand for. We help arts and cultural organizations clarify their identity and express it clearly across every touchpoint.

From tone of voice to visual language, we develop brand systems that reflect your values and make your work recognizable, cohesive, and meaningful to the audiences you serve.

Strategy

Strategy turns ideas into action. We help arts leaders set clear goals, understand their audiences, and build marketing plans that connect the two. Whether you’re planning a specific campaign or need a broader roadmap, our work focuses on what’s realistic, sustainable, and effective, so you can focus your energy on what actually moves the needle.

Storytelling

Storytelling is how your work connects beyond the transaction. We help arts organizations shape clear, compelling narratives that reflect their mission and invite genuine engagement. From fundraising and programs to everyday communications, we focus on language that feels honest, human, and aligned, helping your audience understand why your work matters.
