16.00 – 17.00 Eren Yagmuroglu: Using Facebook to sell tickets

A year ago, StillArt needed a new website and Bernhard Kerres recommended Eren. Over the months it became clear that Eren is not only doing marketing from a business development perspective but also getting quite outrageous results on Facebook.

He has worked 6 years for pianist-composer Fazıl Say, who now has a total of 700,000 followers. It is not unusual that Say’s posts gets thousands of likes. Theremin player Carolina Eyck was very active on Facebook but working to get more attention than several thousands of views. The first collaboration this summer resulted in 476k views on a single video. Hello Stage got the permission to a fun orchestra video that had reached 3,000 views originally. In the summer of 2016 it has been posted once again as “The funniest orchestra joke ever” which now has 1,8m views.

And yes, you can even drive sales through Facebook: Eren’s team supported a sold out Carnegie Hall concert of Fazıl Say in April 2015.

17.00 – 18.00 Discussions 

19.00 – 21.00 Dinner celebrating

10.00 – 12.00 Dr. Martin Messingschlager

Advanced CRM strategies

Dr. Martin Messingschlager is a Partner and the current Scientific Manager at the PRAGMA Institut für empirische Strategieentwicklung. His work in the fields of data management and Smart Data have been used to develop solutions for many nonprofit organizations, including artistic institutions. He works both as an official StillArt partner and as a StillArt Senior Advisor, focusing on data preparation and research development.

Dr. Messingschlager initially studied theology and political sciences at the Otto-Friedrich University in Bamberg, before graduating in the field of statistics with a focus on empirical social sciences. His professional engagements have brought him to Brussels(EU Parliament), Berlin(Deutscher Bundestag) and Nürnberg(IAB). He cofounded PRAGMA in 2007, with offices in Reutlingen and Bamberg.

In his workshop, Martin will focus on practical solutions that can bring the most benefits with implementation, in areas that most performing arts organizations already oversee.
