Why Marketing?

You may be wondering: why do I need marketing? Doesn’t my work speak for itself?

Yes, it does.

And the right marketing strategy can boost your voice.

Our motto here at R&R Creative Group is simply this: marketing creativity. This is what we do.

We work almost exclusively with nonprofit organizations and individuals. We have special strategies tailored directly for these individuals and organizations. We have a proven track record of success.

We are a small office: there are just five of us. We take a personal approach to each and every client. Because no two clients are alike (no two projects are alike!) we work very hard to create marketing strategies that are personal and effective. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. That’s why we provide such a personal touch.

First, we work with you to identify goals. Then we identify the best ways to reach those goals. This plan might include social media campaigns, design, and website updates. We work with you to implement your plan. We are sticklers for details, because we know that when it comes to your image, every little thing counts.

You have passion for what you do. So do we. That’s why we market creativity.

How can hiring a marketing consultant save you money?

It might seem counterintuitive to hire someone to do marketing for your arts company. Nobody knows your company better than you do, after all. And if you are an artist, you’re probably used to doing it all: from creating the show to networking to making posters to sweeping the floors. You wear many hats when you are producing your own art. So why consult with an outside firm? You can just do it yourself, saving time and money.

What happens in so many of these situations is this: You are trying to be Artistic Director, Producer, and Artist all at once. Marketing slips through the cracks. Sure, you pay for postcards, but who picks them up? You have a website, but is anyone looking? When showtime comes, are you selling enough tickets? Are you getting your message across to donors?

You work hard on your art, and you deserve to have people see it. This is where R&R Creative comes in. Here are four ways hiring a marketing consultant can save you time and money.

Attention: We are a small firm, and we like it that way. It lets us keep our prices affordable and give each client individualized attention.

Specialization: This is what we do. You won’t waste time learning how to do everything yourself, from photos to social media to advertising.

Freedom: Let us do what we do best: Market Creativity. This frees you up to do what you do best: your art.

Trust: A marketing consultant is a trusted go-to person. You won’t make costly mistakes with a consultant on your side. We are informed and want to see you succeed.
