Our clients say

Pauline McCloy-Turtle, Director, Suum.Studio

Inner Ear did a creative consultancy for us, providing us with amazing support on understanding our business in it’s early days and with creating a long term plan for our studio’s development.

We have just reviewed this with them and their insight and guidance is still incredibly helpful, accessible and a great support in making creative work in challenging times.

Iain McLaughlin, Writer and Publisher, Thebes Publishing

The advice I received was incredibly helpful. Dougal’s knowledge was extensive. He answered my questions and was able to offer suggestions and guidance that has been invaluable. His knowledge of the industry is extraordinary. I am enormously grateful for his advice and guidance.

Claire Cochrane, Engagement Producer, Stills Gallery, Edinburgh

Had a training session with Dougal to help with Live Streaming. Great session — clear information, great tailored advice and support with the first live streaming event. Vast improvements on our previous attempts and more manageable than expected. Great follow up support and resources.

Audience Engagement Strategy

What We’ll Achieve Together

Party fans raised their hands — how are you engaging your audience?
  1. Strategy: together, we will examine your audience engagement goals and tackle challenges, crafting a concise yet comprehensive strategic plan designed to achieve your objectives.
  2. Master Dynamic Content: I’ll help you leverage live digital experiences (including live streamed social media broadcasts, live rooms, hybrid events, webinars), on-demand videos, podcasting and interactive storytelling to captivate your audience. I’m especially keen to make sure you extract all the value you can from the content assets you create. Make it work for you. Value is left on the table too often. We won’t let that happen.
  3. Overcome Common Hurdles: from monetisation strategies, navigating rights and clearances to choosing the production processes and platform integration, I’ll help you solve complex issues and get them off your plate.
  4. Informed Decision Making: benefit from bespoke advice on content planning so you can spend your marketing budget wisely, ensuring you make the most of valuable content assets so that your brand’s message resonates powerfully with your target audience.
  5. Cut Out The Noise: the amount of stuff is overwhelming. The bewildering array of pieces of equipment, the plethora of platforms, the potential content marketing possibilities and the daunting amount of data you create when you capture your activities. We totally understand that. We experience it too, but we know what we’re looking for and have tried and tested strategies for cutting through the noise, reducing overwhelm and getting stuff done. And we can help you do the same.

Then we’ll work together (by phone, video meeting, or even in person — if it’s feasible logistically — whichever you prefer). At the end of our audience engagement strategy session we’ll agree on the next steps for you. We will then follow up with a report and recommendations. And we will give you a package of valuable resources including:

  • Step-by-step guides to:
    • Identifying your business objectives and setting goals for utilising dynamic content to drive audience engagement.
    • Devising simple strategies for programme making.
    • Defining your audience avatar.
  • And advice and information on:
    • Marketplace positioning and pricing (for monetised content).
    • Rights and clearance.
    • Making your content accessible.

As you work through the plan and recommendations, we will answer any questions you have over the following two weeks, by phone or email. And if you work through all that and your headache still hasn’t cleared up, then we’ll provide you with additional support so you can move forward with a clear head.
