You guys. I am so excited to share this episode with you. I sit down with two creative powerhouses Kristen Maloney and Peter Wood. Kristen is a producer, writer, director and casserole lover. Peter is an actor, writer, and dramaturg, and can turn anything into brilliant choreography.

To make sure that you don’t miss an ounce of the goodness that Peter and Kristen give, I have created a TRANSCRIPT which you can find in our Facebook Group and on the TNC website as of 5/9/19. Oh yes, I paid trint some money and now you can literally copy and paste a list together of all the documentation you will need to apply for a hub, the things that the Nutella crew have learned about marketing a fringe show, and so much more! This is part one of two, so stay tuned for even more invaluable information about how to make your fringe show happen.

Boys Taste Better With Nutella will be at Melbourne Fringe Festival 13 to 21 September and tickets are $29 OR LESS. It is a brilliant show, I have seen it in varying stages and loved it at all of them. And yes, yes I absolutely will be booking a plane ticket to see it tour in 2020. That is how good this show is. I am booking a $200 plane ticket to see a $29 show and sip $18 cocktails. Living my best life and all that.

Tell us what you think of the episode! Show the Nutella crew some love by heading to their instagram account and sharing a post, you will never believe how much those three taps help get them seen online.

Keep well,

-Paula

EPISODE NOTES:

Things We Mentioned

.....

Fringe vs Curated is something we discussed briefly on mic, but which I have thought about a LOT since. Here are two cool articles on the topic that I enjoyed.

This is one from Artshub, and Australian arts publication that is a must for creatives in this country (CHECK THEM OUT THEY HAVE REALLY USEFUL STUFF). The articles focuses on Melbourne Fringe, which where our Nutella crew are headed!

This one is a really insightful article from the of Dublin Fringe Festival which goes into the politics of fringe festivals more, partly because that is the Dublin Fringe festival’s MO

Peter mentioned he hadn’t had a break since May; we recorded this episode back in July, so while that is still a long time, it’s 2ish months not 3. But still definitely send him some nice messages on Insta

An omni-channel approach means that you use a variety of channels to execute your marketing campaign. These channels are different types of media: social media, flyers, print ads, radio spots, creating content like youtube videos, etc. Read a little more about what it is, how to implement it, and get some examples here: https://www.emarsys.com/resources/blog/multi-channel-marketing-omnichannel/

Fleabag by Phoebe Waller-Bridge is a one-woman show which you absolutely have to see if you ever get the chance. This is a sublime character study of “some sort of woman living her some sort of life” as Melbourne’s Malthouse theatre said in it’s blurb when Fleabag was part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival. Read the blurb and some really great reviews here: https://malthousetheatre.com.au/whats-on/fleabag
