Community Manager/Production Team
Paris, Île-De-France, France
Role was as Community Manager for a yearly contemporary art fair, based in Paris and centred around a 10-day event through the streets of Paris due to sanitary restrictions. Role involved the management and maintaining of a social media presence, digital advertising, engagement with audience on online platforms, promotion of the event, relations with media and press outlets. Developed extremely good knowledge of how to use social media and digital platforms to communicate about art and art events, useful in the background of a pandemic where contact with the audience was limited. Nearing the actual event, role also incorporated a production team element, mediating between the organisation and galleries, artists, museums, art institutions, insurance companies, logistics partners, financial sponsors, all while maintaining a high degree of online presence in the lead-up to the vernissage. Strengthened pre-existing written and verbal communication skills in a professional environment, gained a fundamental insight into the organisation of art installations and key relationships between different organisms in the art business. Also relied on the streamlining of my multitasking abilities, adaptability and efficiency in the face of a dynamic and high-pressure environment.
