What's on offer?
GGA membership lasts for one year and is renewable annually. In return you will receive a package tailored to your needs from the following:
Consultancy
5 days of marketing consultancy or research free of charge. You choose how you want us to spend the time. Further dedicated venue/audience based consultancy and training services will be charged at a discounted rate.
Support - On Call
The GGA team is on call by phone or email to give advice, information, contacts and support when you need it. With specialist marketing, business development, training and research staff in house and networks across the country, we can help with all aspects of your marketing campaigns. If we don't know the answer ourselves, we will find someone who does!
Audience Development Campaigns
Working on your behalf we will create, organise, liaise and support you to deliver and evaluate targeted audience development campaigns with your own audiences and those across Glasgow. We will share the knowledge of what works (and what doesn't) with you.
Time-Saving Information
You will have access to a members' website and library containing up-to-date local, national and international market intelligence and research, practical tools and tips, lists of suppliers, press lists, journals, articles and fact sheets. You will receive quarterly newsletters plus email updates on the industry, success stories, local case studies and training programmes - keeping you in the loop.
Training, Professional Development and Networking Opportunities
Take advantage of free places for you or your staff on any of our general or bespoke training courses. Plus, you'll receive invites to a range of networking events to meet other members and contacts from the marketing world as well as other key industry sectors.
GGA is a member of many support organisations including the AMA, Audiences Europe and the Market Research Society.
Space to Think
Our city centre office space includes a fully equipped training room (seats up to 12, plus breakout room) and a meeting and resource room (seats 4-6). Both rooms are bookable via the Office Manager.
A Voice
Your priorities, experience and successes will be used to lobby for audience development investment throughout a range of local and national networks, ensuring that audience development remains centre stage in the debate.
Control
GGA staff and Board are happy to take your feedback on any aspect of our work. You are positively encouraged to take part formally twice a year via the Members Reference Group. Chaired by a Board member, you can have input into any or all aspects of our performance and strategic development.
Who can join?
GGA membership and associate is available to arts organisations in receipt of funding from the Scottish Arts Council, Glasgow City Council and other related market sectors.
