Right People. Right Message. Right Time. Every Time.

We explore why so many arts campaigns feel fragmented, and how smarter segmentation can fix it. From overlapping messages to audience fatigue, misaligned marketing and development teams are often the root of the problem. But when arts leaders take ownership of segmentation as a strategic discipline, campaigns become clearer, more effective, and easier to manage across departments.

We unpack the real cost of siloed planning, the difference between data and action, and the shift required to move from seasonal pushes to sustained patron cultivation. With practical examples and sector-specific insight, this episode is a call to rethink how campaigns are planned, how audiences are segmented, and who’s really responsible for making it all work.

Key takeaways you can act on:

• Why segmentation is a leadership discipline; not just a data task
• How shared segmentation creates clarity and avoids duplicated asks
• The key patron segments every arts organization should define and use
• How collaboration between marketing and development teams strengthens campaign timing and messaging
• What smarter campaign planning looks like when driven by patron behavior
• Simple first steps to improve segmentation and align your teams
