Strategy
Maven created a year-long program that integrated the Ballet’s development efforts, community engagement programs, season performances and The School of Pennsylvania Ballet activity. One of the key overarching goals was to introduce Pennsylvania Ballet’s dancers to new audiences by telling their personal stories so audience members would become personally invested in the dancers performing on stage.
Results
Over a four-year span, Maven’s work resulted in more than 940 media placements. The media placements about the dancers and the programming resulted in a positive impact on Pennsylvania Ballet’s ticket sales each season.
