You’re working harder than ever...

More emails, more ads, more social posts—but your audience just isn’t growing.

Ticket sales feel unpredictable. Subscriptions are declining. Leadership wants answers, or maybe you are the leader and your board keeps asking, “Why aren’t more people coming?”

What if you could have a clear plan—one that actually works?

That’s exactly what I’m covering in this masterclass.

In this 90-minute no-fluff live training, you will learn how to turn new ticket buyers into loyal attendees, increase donations without endless appeals, and get leadership buy-in for the strategies that actually grow revenue.

I attribute [ACSO’s] growth to a few different things. The most important: including personal outreach - you can't just send out eblasts or letters and expect a good return. I can't imagine us never not doing a December campaign now. It's become part of our operational DNA like anything else we do. Thank you for helping us to kick start this fundraising vehicle 5 years ago!
I can’t tell you how good it was for the Board to see how a few small changes can make such an immense difference. Your passion and optimism communicated so vividly it was as though you were with us in the room. 
More often than not, when it comes to business and leadership practices in the performing arts, we’re left to either make it up as we go or continue the dated patterns of our predecessors. Aubrey is an established, 21st Century arts professional with a wealth of knowledge and proven experience who’s passion is to find a better, more inclusive way. It was so nice to be ‘in a room’ with like minded folks who are all looking toward the future of our industry.
