Self Promotion - The Results

As part of my self-promotion I had write a press release. I sent it to the Pie Factory gallery manager who used it to promote my work to local newspapers - both print and online. I also sent out my own copies to any LGBTQ related organisations that might be interested. It was picked up by Margate Pride who also shared it to their online followers. Art Rabbit is an online site that takes exhibition listings and also Source online was requesting degree graduates to show their work.

Of these so far I've been contact by a journalist who wanted to feature Target Practice in the Dover Express and Thanet Gazette as part of their community news. This was great news and I provided them with high quality images for their print media.

The Dover Express article can be seen here:

I think the feature spans out really well against all the community listings. Iy is very striking and bound to catch the viewer's attention.

Target Practice exhibition has also been picked up and shared online by Margate Pride, The Margate Mercury and a few other online sites. Here are some of the posts:

Hopefully the result of all this promotion will result in increased awareness and footfall for the show. Once the hang is complete I plan to deliver a few flyers to locations such as the local tourist information, galleries and coffee shops.
