Cameron Cash explains how to build a social media strategy for your theater. He talks about what to include in the strategy, how to position your brand, the type of content to share, and how to involve your cast and crew.

Cameron has a degree in film production from the University of Texas at Austin. After graduating, Cameron moved to New York City and landed several off-Broadway and touring stage roles (Much Ado About Nothing, Cyrano De Bergerac, The Adventures of Don Quixote), while producing 2 short films (The Efficiency Experts Guide to Better Business, Disconnect) and a feature (Tom's Wife). After moving to LA, he continued to act in feature films (Priest, Finding Mr. Wright), commercials (Avis, Arrow Electronics), and television shows (Entourage, Lost Tapes) while moonlighting in post-production.

Cameron eventually funneled a passion for social media and his knowledge as an early platform adopter into what has become an award winning career in digital marketing. He has excelled at turning brand messaging into compelling campaigns and has produced digital strategy + creative for Ford, American Express, CNN and Disney. In addition to working in social, Cameron is also passionate about fitness and wellness, and teaches yoga on the side.

Bruce Pachtman discusses how to write a title that will help sell more tickets to your shows. He gives examples of titles that should be avoided, explains what makes a title stand out, and how to formulate a title that will help with your marketing.

Bruce wrote and performed a solo show titled, “Don't Make Me Look Too Psychotic”. It was scheduled to run for 18 performances in San Francisco but continued for 68 weeks. He played Philadelphia for four months and reopened in San Francisco for another 13 weeks. “Psychotic’s" remarkable run had an unexpected result. Other solo performers engaged Bruce to guide their marketing and publicity campaigns. His client list has grown to include theaters, dance and opera companies, bands, improv groups, and comedians.

Bruce spent four years as the marketing director of Pocket Opera and has worked extensively with W. Kamau Bell Productions as a producer, publicist, and marketing director. In addition, Bruce has produced "It Could Have Been A Wonderful Life", "miss-matches.com"," The Dharma Of Dollars", Hudsondance, Tom Sway Band, "Laughter Against The Machine", "New Years Eve With True Fiction Magazine, and 3 For All".

He is currently the co-producer of Solo Sundays, a solo performance series which is now in its 8th year. Bruce founded the Solo Performance Workshop solo performance school where he teaches courses in publicity, marketing, and producing.
