Lis Ivany | Arts Marketing & Audience Development
With a career spanning 25 years, I have a wide range of experience in marketing and audience development for cultural organisations.
From developing long-term strategies to delivering impactful, cross-platform campaigns, I have a track record of success in diversifying and retaining audiences, growing income and brand positioning. I have held leadership roles in a number of organisations, contributing to business planning, bid writing and stakeholder engagement.
I love partnership working. It’s one of the things that I am most enjoying about freelancing – which I have been doing since July 2023. I’m curious and analytical, I’ll provide you with clear evaluation of success and key recommendations for future projects. I’m unapologetically practical and solutions-focused, I know when there is space to explore ideas and when things just need to happen.
My freelance clients include theatres, touring productions, visual arts organisations and festivals. I’ve worked collaboratively with clients to create strategic plans with actionable objectives and measures of success; I’ve developed and delivered campaigns to find audiences for theatre tours and performances; I’ve stepped in at the eleventh hour to add capacity.
My previous in-house roles include Head of Communications at Norfolk & Norwich Festival; Head of Marketing & Sales at the Almeida Theatre; Marketing Manager for Norfolk Museums Service; Marketing Manager at The Cogency – a specialist arts marketing agency where my clients included the Barbican, Somerset House, Cheek by Jowl and Clean Break.
I am interested in working on both long and short-term projects, strategic or tactical, and would love to talk to you about your organisation, venue or event.
