Segmentation Strategy
In this collaborative engagement, we devise strategies to reach your marketing, fundraising, and audience engagement goals through targeting the right people, at the right time, with the right message. We do this through:
- Discovery – Categorizing your patrons according to their behaviors and motivations.
- Planning – Identifying goals for each audience segment and tactics to reach them.
- Action – Tagging your patrons’ accounts with their segments (using the Segmentation Engine) and activating plans.
- Reporting – Tracking and reporting results throughout the year.
Campaign Planning
Leveraging audience segmentation and industry expertise, we’ll create tailor-made campaigns to help you reach your attendance, revenue, and engagement goals, while saving your team valuable time. We offer campaign planning for:
- Subscriptions & Memberships – We deliver subscriber or member renewal, acquisition, and reactivation campaigns that identify and engage your best prospects.
- Single Tickets – Whether for a weeks-long run or a one-off production, we leverage audience segmentation for effective targeting to reach sales and audience engagement goals.
- Email Strategy – We’ll help you develop email creative, lists, automations, timelines, and tracking to engage the right audience, at the right time, with a message that resonates.
Email Marketing Support
Whether you’re implementing a new platform or want to enhance your email strategy and processes, we’re here to help. We’ll develop a roadmap for your email usage that supports your digital marketing initiatives and makes effective use of your people and technology. We’ll help you:
- Launch a New Platform – We’ll develop a game plan and guide you through the email implementation process, incorporating your marketing strategy within your new technology, right from the launch.
- Improve Your Processes – We’ll review your email marketing processes and help optimize your templates, segmentation, workflow, and reporting to achieve better results.
- Implement Automations – We’ll show you how to automate emails based on individualized customer data that results in more effective communications with less staff time.
- Track Results – We’ll work with you to create a custom reporting approach, allowing you to track email KPIs through your email platform (Prospect2 and Wordfly), Tessitura, and Google Analytics.

Working with JCA has been foundational for Boston Lyric Opera as we reestablished and continue to grow our theatrical operations in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with JCA Arts Marketing to fill in as an Interim Director of Marketing. During the transition, they not only kept things running smoothly, but also added great insights and ideas that pushed our marketing efforts forward in meaningful ways. JCA Arts Marketing has strong expertise in content, leadership, and creativity, and they were incredibly productive. I would hire JCA Arts Marketing again in a heartbeat!
