S05E09 - Hear Ye, Hear Ye

Hear Ye, Hear Ye   The weekend has arrived and once again we are rewarded with more industry musings from our boys at Drewling Samantics. This week’s episode sees Drew and Sam discussing the challenges of promoting new productions and upcoming work, and the equally important task of “selling” themselves. Following on from their wonderful guest last week, the brilliant Sam Quested, and his insights into producing, Drew and Sam share their experiences of promoting and advertising some of the shows they have been associated with. They also reveal their thoughts on the use of social media and the huge impact it has had on new work and showcasing actors as products.  Press launches, posters, hand bills, personal appearances and promotional stunts are just some of the methods employed in raising awareness for shows across all spheres of the industry, and now more than ever the performance world needs to attract audiences. So listen in as the dynamic duo get to grips with another fascinating facet of the business, and realise that in an increasingly competitive market, almost anything goes!   Social Media  Facebook.com/DrewlingSamantics  Instagram.com/DrewlingSamantics  Twitter.com/Drew_and_Sam  Youtube.com/channel/UCUoVYL_Qzd_hgwzCCd2dafQ  RSS Feed  https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1696714.rss   Music  Vlad Gluschenko - Sunny Winter Day  Creative Commons Attribution 3.0  https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en Ping us a message - we love to hear your thoughts!
