These organisations realise that they are dealing with a new type of cultural consumer - one who is willing to cross the boundary between popular culture and high art but who wants a cultural experience that also entertains." "With dozens of examples from the UK, US and elsewhere, this book will be essential reading for those who work in cultural organisations as they struggle to fit into the new marketing environment. It focuses on those aspects of marketing most related to the challenges currently facing cultural organisations, including determining their market segment and the positioning of their cultural product in a crowded marketplace. It will also be ideal for students of arts management or those who hope to work in the cultural industries."--BOOK JACKET ER -
