As a marketer, you can play a strategic part in moving your organisation forward no matter what your job role. This article explains how to step up, influence your organisation and community through 'ROAR': by being reflective, open, adaptive and responsible. You'll find practical tips for increasing organisational resilience whilst remaining true to purpose.

As arts marketers you need to challenge received ideas, to develop audiences by breaking out of the box and influencing the core programme, communicating the sense of the organisation’s shared purpose. And we need to do this to meet the challenge of shrinking resources, and demanding time and audiences.
