How did you get into the industry?

By accident. As a marketer, I found that there was a need for a cultural marketing platform while marketing a client. So I decided to create something. Initially it was print driven and a quarterly publication, but soon enough the demand grew and my team and I went back to the drawing board to create a robust digital platform, completely from scratch, that would market culture through multiple channels – while keeping the costs low, so that non-profit organizations can benefit despite their small budgets.

What’s New in the Business or in the Franchise Model?

Our platform is technology driven, but created specifically for those who have a lot on their plates and need to market events on low budgets, without a lot of know-how. Our system is turn-key, simple to use, and full of benefits. It uses the collective buying power method and provides unmatched advertising and marketing value for non-profit organizations of all sizes.

Where do you See Opportunities or Challenges for the Franchise/Business Moving Forward?

The opportunities are endless. We continuously add modules and benefits to the platform.

 

What is your Goal for the Business Moving Forward?

We plan on having CultureOwl in every major city throughout the US and the world. Culture is everywhere. We offer easy access to all cultural programming – regardless of budgets. We strive to help consumers live more culturally and experience it on their own terms.
