Happy Return To The Towers

Posted on by

Happy return to the Charters Towers Region last week – quintessential North Queensland country. Along with some RADF training and a workshop on Creative Collaboration, one of the main reasons for my visit was to do some research on how to more effectively promote locally produced cultural activities and events to residents and visitors in the region. This is an issue which arose out of the consultation process for the Arts & Cultural Investment Plan – and one that is a challenge for most of the regions I visit. Already some interesting feedback which will help to shape a fresh planned approach to community communications. So good to be back on the road. Thanks CTRC for the opportunity – and Earl for the painting!

Discover Eumundi Discovers a Rich Vein of Potential

Posted on by

The recently completed visitor and community survey commissioned by the Discover Eumundi Visitor and Heritage Centre has revealed a rich vein of information about visitor experiences and interests and provided greater insight into those who have yet to visit this wonderfully eclectic centre for heritage, local art work and visitor information. A great deal of valuable knowledge that came out of this initiative some of it life affirming, all of it valuable input for future planning and sustainable success. Good luck to Wendy and the volunteer crew who do such a wonderful job in providing this important service. This was a joyful gig. Thanks everyone; keep up the great work.

Eventful Return to the Central Highlands

Posted on by

Happy to be back in Emerald, Qld over the last few days. Haven’t been there for a few years and the town is looking great – as is the coffee. This trip I was lucky enough to work with the cultural champions from around the region brushing up on event and project management and marketing. Key messages included: a project management approach to event/project management will help to take the cry out of crisis management; and an understanding of the key principles of marketing will help ensure that a project or event will engage with its intended audience and that promotion will cut through the noise. Enjoyed being back in the Central Highlands. Best wishes for continued event and project success.
