Creative Jam @ Venture Cafe Miami
New World Symphony: Marketing & Audience Development Leadership
Under her leadership of audience strategy, engagement, research and innovation at New World Symphony, NWS experienced its highest revenue-grossing single event in its history (exceeding the previous event’s revenue number by 15%), as well as the highest percentage of new audience members at a single event (61.6%). Marte’s team created new ticket access programs generating nearly $52,000 and nearly tripled group sales revenue over three years. From the genesis of a NWS Open House – later adopted by a six-figure sponsor as a signature fulfillment – to the formation of a new cross-promotional partnership with the Lincoln Road Business Improvement District, and the successful completion of Project 305, one of Miami’s most ambitious arts audience development projects, NWS experienced unprecedented growth and success as a result of Marte’s innovative programs and leadership.
