Useful ideas
in practice.
Recent work with Arts Alive brings these ideas to life. The illustrations below use sample information; they show the approach without sharing internal records.
A clearer view of a busy programme.
Film screenings and live events involve dates, venues, bookings and financial information. FlicksHub and LiveHub bring programme information into a more usable view.
The principle is simple: make it easier to see the whole picture and get to the detail you need.
What’s coming up?

A head start on the weekly email.
A weekly newsletter needs current events, accurate dates and a useful layout. I’ve worked on automating the preparation of an Arts Alive Mailchimp draft, grouping events by county and including a map.
The marketing team still checks and edits the draft before it goes out. Automation does the preparation; people make the final call.

Figures with a purpose.
My work with Arts Alive includes management accounts, budgets and bringing financial information into shared dashboards.
The aim is to make the figures useful: understand the position, compare it with the plan and identify the questions that need answering.
