Mosaic Theater Company of DC is a non-profit theater in Northeast DC. My tenure here is my first in the non-profit, arts world and it is by far the most personally fulfilling industry in which I’ve ever worked. In my first 10 months at Mosaic, I instituted a comprehensive, data-driven marketing plan and lead its execution. In my first season, I increased organizational focus on video products and content strategy. This shift in strategy resulted in the highest single ticket revenue in the organization’s history—representing 5 of the 10 most profitable Mosaic shows ever and a 15% increase in ticket revenue season to season. I streamlined, consolidated, and codified brand identity and instituted a comprehensive style guide. Under my leadership the marketing department has grown from three to five people.
