Building your digital strategy
3. • Audiences: reaching and engaging audiences online
• Content: Using technology to create content for online or offline engagement:
e.g. creative content, captured content, cultural learning content
• Organisation: using technology to drive organisational efficiency/sustainability
See Arts Council England Digital Policy and Plan Guidelines co-authored by The Space
and MTM
What do we mean by ‘digital’?
29/01/20173
5. • Integrated with business plan: mission/objectives, creative/curatorial, marketing,
education, staffing and budget
• Audience-led: puts audience reach and engagement at heart of the plan
• Focused on strengths or opportunities specific to the organisation rather than
spreading efforts too thinly
• Realistic: recognises current starting point, skills and resources available and
importance of effective advocates, partners and suppliers
• Adaptable/agile: digital landscape changes rapidly so plan should be top-level and
have scope to iterate, learn and evolve
• Senior stakeholders involved in policy and plan rather than e.g. limited to digital
marketing function

Digital policy requirements
29/01/20178
9. • Digital objectives
• Key activities to meet each digital objective
• Targets: set clear, ambitious but realistic targets
• Budget/resources for each activity
• Deadlines: include a clear timeframe and milestones
• Responsibilities: identify who will oversee and who will deliver each activity
Digital plan requirements
29/01/20179
11. • Starting point: what is your current online reach and engagement (see ‘Effective
use of data’ below)?
• Segments: are you targeting activities to specific audience segments (e.g. Audience
Spectrum)?
• Audience outcomes: are activities focused on achieving clear outcomes (e.g.
building brand awareness, marketing creative programme, engaging with creative
content, building brand loyalty, generating online income, gaining feedback)?
• Audience interests: have you considered different audience needs/interests (e.g.
new audiences vs existing, traditional arts audiences vs others, in area vs out of
area, diverse audiences, children and young people)?
Audiences: who and why?
29/01/201711
12. • Have you focused on realistic channels for your audiences and content?
• Sustainability: do your plans support regular content/communication on each
channel or do you risk spreading efforts too thinly?
• Audience usage: have you selected channels where your audience segments
already consume content and will content work with the devices those audiences
use and typical interaction patterns (duration, frequency)?
• Usability and accessibility: have you considered audience access (e.g. mobile vs
other devices, subtitling of dialogue, user testing of significant builds)?
Audiences: channels
29/01/201712
13. • Marketing budget: is the budget/resource allocated to marketing at least 10% of
content/production budget (ideally greater, especially if there’s a high expectation
of new audience acquisition)
• Content discovery: have you considered how the audience will find the content?
• Social media: paid for promotion of content (can be very targeted and cost-effective e.g. budgets in the
£10s per promoted post)?
• Influencers: using your contacts network to promote content via social media (e.g. trustees, friends,
high profile talent)?
• Search engine optimisation: ensuring text has key search terms and new websites are optimised
• Retention: does your marketing plan include driving repeat engagements with
existing audiences (cheaper to retain than to acquire new)?
Audiences: marketing
29/01/201713
14. Do you have realistic targets for reach, engagement and audience outcomes?
• Are targets set from a useful baseline? Be wary of metrics like social media
“impressions” and Facebook video views which don’t necessarily mean content has
been engaged with
• Do you know your current level and growth rate for your target metrics? Plans
which assume greater than a 30% improvement in growth rate are ambitious
• Do you have a plan, skills and time to: focus on the most relevant, actionable
metrics; set up dashboards for easy monitoring; regularly interpret and share data
across the organisation to evolve plans?
Audiences: effective use of data
29/01/201714
16. • Produce one at a time to gain learning and apply to next project allowing 3 month+
pre-production timeframe
• Clear audience targets, distribution and marketing approach
• Cross-departmental and senior buy-in (e.g. creative/curatorial in conjunction with
educational and marketing)
• How will the plan build after year 1, learn intelligently and share learnings rather
than just doing more of the same?
• Long-form capture typical budget range £35k to £100k (below £25k likely to be
archive usable only)
Content production: long-form video
29/01/201716
17. Costs from Canvas for 3-5 minute videos (excluding rights clearances):
• A) £1k - £1.5k = freelance producer/camera operator/editor charging £300-£500
per day. 1 day shoot and 2-3 day edit
• B) £1.5k - £2.5k = small production company perhaps e.g. second camera operator,
dedicated editor, simple graphics
• C) £2.5k - £5k = 2-3 camera operators and/or 2 days shooting, dedicated editor,
experienced exec producer/production manager, more elaborate graphics
• 360 degree filming: typical budgets in the £5k to £7k for short-form but budget
range can vary substantially
Content production: short-form video
29/01/201717
18. • Planning phase to consider: user journeys, accessibility, mobile optimisation, SEO,
content migration/redirecting from old site where applicable
• Clear schedule with time for testing, content population and iterative development
(3 months minimum)
• Plan for ongoing content management responsibilities, maintenance and hosting
requirements
• Simple website with open source CMS from £10k. E-ticketing additional £5k to £10k
for separately hosted solution or from £30k to £100k for something seamlessly
integrated into the main website
• Assume site will require substantial reinvestment/replacement every 3-4 years
Content production: new website build
18
19. • Plans should focus on user experience and be technology agnostic: once
experience is clear, what is the best technology to enable the audience to engage
with it?
• App store discoverability, getting users to install and to return to the app are major
barriers to reach and engagement
• Reduce costs by using software/toolkits to create apps for e.g. Apple and Android
or deliver regularly used features: e.g. augmented reality location/image detection
• App development from £10k for the app (that’s before cost of content/animation
and marketing, so typically £50k+ total cost)
Content production: apps and Virtual Reality
or Augmented Reality experiences
29/01/201719
21. • Combine a holistic approach to digital (i.e. not just marketing or standalone
software) with small practical steps
• Consider using lower cost software-as-service providers rather than investing in
bespoke systems
• If making large investments look at options to cost share with other organisations
or to build systems that can be reused in future
• Consider long terms costs (e.g. hosting, maintenance, updates)
• Do your timescales and budgets allow for prototyping and then refining and
iterating (i.e. ‘agile’ development)?
Operations, resilience and sustainability
29/01/201721
22. • Have you thought about future digital exploitation of new physical pieces (e.g.
ensuring digital rights are clearable even if not any immediate plan for online
publication)?
• Have you considered rights ownership for any bespoke digital production (e.g. for a
new website have you considered ownership of code, design and content)?
• The Space is exploring with industry stakeholders the potential to develop more
standardised digital rights frameworks for publicly funded UK arts
Rights management
29/01/201722
23. Is there a clear plan to gain and/or sustain the following skills either in-house or
through partners/suppliers?
• Board/trustee experience with digital?
• Skills in data tracking and analysis?
• Digital marketing skills?
• Digital production skills?

Editor's Notes
Given the span of digital activities and their relevance to different scales and types of arts organisations it is hard to be prescriptive. The answer to many questions about e.g. budgets and timescales is ‘how long is a piece of string’. We will focus on some key principles illustrated by practical examples
Your digital policy sets key principles and will be driven by your organisation’s mission and objectives. Whilst it should be reviewed annually it’s unlikely to change substantially each year. It should consider current digital status, key digital commitments and objectives and who is responsible for the policy and its review
If you make major investments in digital (e.g. new website, back office systems etc.) it’s important to plan for the fact that these are likely to need substantially upgrades or replacement every 3-4 years, as technology and audience requirements evolve. It’s important to ensure you are setting aside budget reserves for this in the same way as you would for significant capital investment.
Specific digital objectives will evolve significantly year on year as requirements evolve and you learn from previous activity. An annual plan with SMART objectives that is reviewed regularly throughout the year will ensure activity is focused on your objectives
Individual projects should ideally be delivered iteratively: low risk prototype, review and use learnings to shape the next stage
It can be tempting with limited budgets to focus on infrequent larger scale projects with little or no budget to sustain content and a dialogue with the audience in between. The result is that audience interest tails off rapidly and the delivery team do not get regular experience/insight into what works and what doesn’t. This can make it hard to sustain digital audience growth. The alternative model – with smaller more frequent projects and some focus on sustaining the audience conversation in between, has a cumulative effect in building an engaged, repeat audience.

Avoid a tick box mindset to accessibility compliance. E.g. achieving comprehensive W3C AA compliance is very challenging, depending on type of content, but there are many simple practical steps you can take to make content significantly more accessible if you plan in advance and ideally combine a technical accessibility standards compliance review with user testing.

From Canvas:
Three main bands assuming we're talking about 3-5 minute one-off videos. There are certainly savings to be made by commissioning a series of videos.
A) £1K - £1.5K. This would be working on a freelance basis with an individual producer / camera operator / editor who would be charging between £300-£500 per day to do everything. So roughly speaking you would get a day's shoot and two or three days editing. There would be no music rights thrown in, so if there's a requirement for incidental music, this would need to be added on (although it's a small amount if the music is generic). It may not be the most polished production and may require some editorial oversight.
B) £1.5K - £2.5K. You might get a second camera operator, a dedicated editor and some simple but decent graphics. For this budget you may well be dealing with a small production company whose bread and butter is corporate work. They would probably throw in some music clearance at no extra cost.
C) £2.5K to £5K. Here you might get 2-3 camera operators and / or may even get 2 days shooting in multiple locations, possibly even some travel and expenses, dedicated editors, some elaborate graphics (Aftereffects etc), and most likely an experienced hand overseeing the project as an Exec Producer and / or a Production Manager
None of these costs include talent or rights clearance - there's an even broader range here, so it's worth keeping this separate.
In terms of 360, we have been looking into this recently, with a view to launching a series of monthly 360 productions with different partners. There's a much bigger range here, depending on the complexity of the 360 production, the environment, and the activity being captured.
The lowest quotes we received were for a simple 360 capture of an event were around £2.5K. The highest were closer to £10K. The most sensible and detailed responses we had were around the £5K to £7K mark.
At the upper end is something like this that the NT published this week for Threepenny Opera.
https://youtu.be/m2A12hBRhGY
It will have required a lot of choreography / blocking so the costs are as much in pre-production as in the 360 capture itself
At the other end of the scale are far more straightforward capture of static performances like this BBC Proms piece
https://youtu.be/zY09QP6CqdM
This will have required very little in the way of pre or post-production, so I would imagine it being around £3K to £5K but I may be wrong.
ONLINE TICKETING SYSTEMS NOTES
There are two levels of implementation that a venue may wish to investigate: hosted solution and custom API-driven solution.
Hosted solutions are the easier end of the spectrum and generally are suited for small to medium size venues or venues with minimal requirements
Pros - implementation by ticketing platform so little web developer input required; 'off the shelf' functionality; depending on platform some customisation is possible; quick to implement; tend to have good infrastructures for dealing with on sale surges
Cons - hard to customise once implemented and usually expensive; limited functionality and support for useful features (memberships, products, discounts etc); tend to be out-dated code bases and without support for modern web features (responsive design, JavaScript); user experience often affected as solution is third party hosted requiring buyer to leave venue's website or use clumsy iframes; no control over capacity levels, vendor tie-in
Budget range: £5k - £10k (web implementation only) + ticketing company licence and set up fees
API-based solutions (Application Programming Interfaces allow one IT system to talk seamlessly to another) allow complete customisation of the ticket purchase experience from design/user experience to functionality
Pros: very flexible, not dependent on single technology; UX and design can be branded so seamless integration; scaleable for on sale surges; cheaper to customise; updatable; can be expanded beyond just ticketing too all areas of online business
Cons: longer timescales to implement; much more scoping required; requires in-house staff with expertise to manage CRM (Customer Relationship Management); requires hosting, in-house infrastructure ongoing costs; more complex = more to go wrong
Budget: £30k - £100k
Rights management advisor costs range from £400 to £1,000+ per day
Time Machine won three Big Chip Awards recognising excellent use of digital technology, in addition to the Special Jury Prize at the Learning on Screen Awards in London and the Innovation Award at the Northern Royal Television Society Awards.
GuidiGO can be used based on GPS location technology, image recognition or keying in existing item numbers so no need to install infrastructure. Can use location beacons though.

Filmed theatre, dance, ballet, opera and music – from the major arts companies to the mid scale and smaller
Must be HD and good technical quality for playout on large screens
Rights owners must ensure they have all necessary rights from artists etc to allow for ‘non theatric’ ‘public video’ distribution

Nick Poole, CEO of Collections Trust “countering these investment challenges would be possible if doing so were to lead directly to rich end-user experiences. But they don’t. Instead, you have to spend a huge amount of time, effort and money to deliver something which the vast majority of users essentially regard as background texture.”
