Janet Alderman | Digital Marketing Manager| Apples and Snakes
Janet has been working in a digital capacity for nearly ten years and started her journey working with companies such as Travis Perkins, Avon and Sky. Museums always felt like home so she retrained with an MA in Museum Studies from the University of Leicester, and specialised in digital experiences in the gallery. She has worked in the arts for four years for the Jewish Museum London, BFI, Culture24 and now for Apples and Snakes. Alongside, she is a freelancer in digital heritage with The Museum Platform and is one of the Digital Skills Mentors supporting heritage organisations taking part in The Lab strand of the Digital Heritage Lab.

The Digital Heritage Lab took place between April 2020 and June 2021 and as well as providing programme of free online training events it also gave 60 heritage organisations the opportunity to develop their digital potential with the support of a digital skills mentor. In this Reflect, Share, Inspire session Ed Archer from the Lanark and District Archaeological Society (LADAS) and Laura Drysdale from The Restoration Trust are reunited with their respective Digital Skills Mentors Alex Wilson and Janet Alderman.
Telling your organisation’s story is the key to engaging and reaching audiences and for heritage organisations that don’t have a collection this can be a challenge. In this video, Janet Alderman explains what makes a good story and why telling your organisation’s stories can help engage with audiences. Janet looks at how to identify stories within your organisation, different types of storytelling and how to put a good story together, including tips on publishing your stories across your digital channels.
