StillArt’s Post

Audience Success Conference 2024 [05 & 06 November] "The successful arts organization's business model – and the role of subscriptions" session by Magnus Still, Founder, StillArt. 05 November 2024 14:15 – 15:00, Blackbox FAT CAT München Magnus Still and StillArt might be known for rapidly and systematically helping performing arts organizations sell out whole seasons by increasing subscriber numbers. However, as foundation for the work StillArt builds on a solid understanding of a balanced business model of arts organizations. Developed over 20 years and together with long term and very successful CEOs from Europe and North America, this helps arts organizations navigate a volatile future and plan their operations.

Here are some key takeaways from Indigo Ltd's and Spektrix 'Tomorrow's Audience' report, with insights from over 72 organisations: 📣 More than half of cultural audiences in 2023 were first-time bookers. 📣 19.5% of new bookers from 2022 returned in 2023, a rate of reattendance not seen since 2016. 📣 Theatres and arts centres attracted the highest proportion of audiences who were completely new to the arts. 📣 There are significant differences between regions in terms of general socialising habits in new-to-the-arts audiences increased their social activity, whereas a quarter of regional audiences go out less now. 📣  88% of new-to-arts audiences said attending the performing arts increased their wellbeing. 📣 The key motivators for first-time audiences were identified as People, Familiarity and Occasion; the three main barriers were 'not on my radar', 'hard to access' and 'poor value'.

Love a morning when the first post is something incredibly relevant! Find the full study referenced in the article here: https://lnkd.in/gVJ9CpAH ________ Stand out quote: "Many companies are now experimenting with new models, for both political and practical reasons. There is a new interest in horizontal/collective leadership models, and more skepticism about traditional organizational and compensation structures. " We're seeing changes to structures that haven't been touched in decades out of necessity. Many performing arts groups are trying to get back to pre-pandemic audience levels by doing what worked before. But the audiences spend differently now and there’s little research as to what for sure works. New ideas need to be tried. But the only way you can do that successfully is to have a company efficient and flexible enough to handle multiple inter-departmental changes. With Pivote, you’ll end up with a company workflow so optimized and clear that you can adjust it with ease - no matter what external changes occur.
