The Third Wall Theatre Company aims to enhance audience engagement and ticket sales for its upcoming production of "The Misanthrope." Targeting professional females aged 45-59, our marketing strategy involves a mix of traditional and digital media, partnerships, and community events. With strengths in communication and a location appealing to our audience, we will tackle weaknesses like the political and technological climate. Initiatives will include creative advertising, membership appreciation nights with exclusive offers, and leveraging local press and radio.
