Project Description:
Create Business Plan for Marketing and Licensing of Proprietary App Functioning as a digital program book, our to-be-named app gives concertgoers the opportunity to experience live program notes during concerts. While some orchestras have used similar interactive technology, the BPO’s app is proprietary and available for licensing to other orchestras and performing arts organizations. Our intern will help to build a marketing and licensing plan for national and international distribution of the app. (6 hours)
Establish Protocol for Per-Concert Cost and Revenue Analysis The BPO administration is looking for ways to streamline its method of approaching event costs while also having a better sense of anticipated revenue.
