Hello Michael,
This ZG notice is going out to contacts for: Austin Civic Wind Ensemble
ACWE 2019-20 Concert Series
Today our Division Manager Meghan Wells sent out an email notice to all of
you, about our new partnership between Visit Austin and the City of
Austin's Cultural Arts Division to help promote the creative and cultural
community in Austin to audiences near and far.
Visit Austin is the top tourist search site in Austin, and as a result of
this partnership with CAD, now includes a specialized Cultural Arts landing
page, portal for cultural and creative event listings (free to post),
robust search engine optimization and related marketing efforts reaching
3.3 million visitors annually. It is also available in eight different
languages. Benefits include:
- Cultural Contractors now have easier access to Visit Austin's calendar of
events. This will expand your potential audience to over 3.3 million
visitors who use their site. You may start posting your event(s) at this
link: www.AustinTexas.org/things-to-do/arts/submit-event. See info at the
base of this notice for the Visit Austin How-To-Guide.
- Visit Austin's site includes a custom content landing page that
highlights the importance of the creative economy and features rotating art
& events for tourists & residents:
https://www.austintexas.org/things-to-do/arts/explore-austins-arts-culture/
Be sure to tag your images on social media with the hashtag #TrueAustin to
feed into the Visit Austin site & Instagram account.
- Austin's Cultural Arts events will be featured in an email blast
scheduled to be sent to over 150,000 Visit Austin subscribers later this
month. We encourage you to post your event soon so that the email blast can
connect Visit Austin subscribers to your latest listings!
We are excited to be able to offer this enhanced platform to support and
promote your valuable work. Thank you for all you do to make Austin a rich
and vibrant cultural and creative community!
