Social Media Strategies & Mobile Web Tools for the Performing Arts
Tenso Professionals Meeting 2012 focused on social media strategies and the mobile web. Creative uses of these technologies were presented by speakers active in the classical music and museum or media industries, notably Jo Johnson, Digital Marketing Manager at the London Symphony Orchestra; Rachel Coldicutt, founder of Caper and former Head of Digital Media at the Royal Opera House; Lukas Hellermann, project manager at musikFabrik; Roei Amit, Head of Digital Media, Réunion des Musées Nationaux – Grand-Palais; Tim Rutherford-Johnson, musicologist and writer; Lindsey Porter, Press & PR Manager at Opera North.
During five panel sessions, these professionals illustrated how social media and the mobile web offer cultural organisations new ways to promote their activities and interact with their audience, or to what extent they can foster collaboration and be an element of the creative process.
