Belfast OPeratic Company

It’s a brave thing to do to book the Grand Opera House for a week-long run of shows when you’re a local amateur musical theatre group. Especially when you need to sell over 85% of tickets to just break even. And you’re in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis.

Selling tickets in the darkness of winter when people were recovering from the financial hit of Christmas and rising food and energy costs was never going to be easy.

A challenge that demanded a joined-up approach to marketing!

Its braver still to make the decision to invest in an agency to support you in such a challenging goal. So a heartfelt thank you to Belfast Operatic Company for putting their trust in us and our team.

But we are glad to say that through a mix of digital marketing, advertising, public relations and radio advertising we were able to not just hit the goal but to exceed it. 

Led by Sam and Nikki, we created a marketing campaign that resonated with audiences and inspired them to experience the enchantment of The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Stenson Wolf became deeply integrated within the BOC team, working closely together to ensure every aspect of the marketing campaign was executed flawlessly. We celebrated the power of joined up thinking and witnessed the remarkable results it can yield.
