You work at a museum, or are you just partnered with them? Or do you just like holding things there?
I'm the chairman of the marketing committee.
It's a really fun gig. I'm responsible for setting and holding meetings, increasing the museums visibility through multiple media outlets, scheduling events, generating foot traffic, coordinating with local tv stations and other media outlets, social media campaigns, etc.
I volunteer, but it's a big job, which I really enjoy. Love fundraising for good causes.
But our visibility stinks. Every time I bring someone to the museum their reaction is "Wow! I didn't even know about this place". That's what I'm changing. Not being arrogant, but facts are facts and I've helped raise over $100,000 for the museum in ten months. But there is still a lot more we could improve.
The museum is located across the street from a University who has an awesome art program, yet we haven't targeted the college crowd. We rely on big donations from old money, but old money goes away. I'm trying to get the Executive committee to realize that new money means old money in the future.
