Additional Marketing Material
FACEBOOK EVENTS
The Darwin Fringe does not make facebook events for shows however we will co-host them with you! That way they still show up on our page and yours.
You will need a public facebook
PAGE
to make an event that can be co-hosted by us. This is different to your
PERSONAL
account. If this is a concern for you please feel free to reach out.
WE DO NOT
just share facebook events during the festival as this becomes ineffective when you start promoting almost 200 different performances.
WE ARE
however very happy to share other content such as photos and videos. Get creative and let yourself stand out!
PS. You can share this content with us as it becomes available.
If you have any other links to relevant websites, reviews, quotes etc, this is the place to let us know!
links.here "very good art things at school you should trust them"
Artist/ Producer/ Organisation/ Venue bio
Please tell us about yourself or your group in a short bio between 30-150 words. This will go on our website show listings.
Gothcorns are a brand new performance troupe of friends who like to get together and dress up. Also fans of the goth and metal scene there's a certain element to this cabaret act that many are missing, a little edge. With dark humor and witty tongues be tantalized by this troupe of multi talented performers who are fresh and ready to give it a go.
Draft a Tweet/Instagram caption for us to share your show with our followers
Before and during the festival we post on Twitter (@DarwinFringe) and Instagram (@darwinfringefestival) about each and every show, exhibition and event in the 2020 Darwin Fringe!
Think hard about 250 characters (tweets are 280 characters, but we need 30 characters to include a link to purchase tickets) that will sell your show best.
