This year, Infront Artists will be holding the workshop Get Infront – Digital Workshop for Creatives at the 2017 Industry Development Day hosted by Senior Marketing and Communications Manager Nicky Papadopoulos. The workshop is intended to assist all creatives who have either started in self-promotion online or those who’ve already engaged in social channels but are not quite sure the best way to approach and grow their brand. Creatives will also learn which social media channels work best, how to manage them, the importance of building your own brand presence online and how you can use digital to your advantage. We chatted to Nicky to ask her what Infront Artists is all about and what you can expect from their global marketplace platform.
Details of the workshop are listed below.
What inspired you to create Infront Artists?
Through our research and involvement within the creative/entertainment industry, we found that there was a gap and a need for artists, creatives and industries to connect online and collaborate. Infront Artists is creating a social global network marketplace platform (launching 2018), that will enable artists, performing artists and creatives industries to connect worldwide. Our mission is to be the premiere social network website destination for performing artists, artists and all creative industries to network, share industry insights and news, promote projects and project requirements, review jobs, to grow your fan-base, share content and provide a marketplace for self-promotion, advertise, network, sell products/services, connect and empower creativity on a global scale.
