Two Savannah-based organizations – Evoca and the Savannah Music Festival - teamed up to increase audience participation and build online community around the renowned Savannah Music Festival by enabling anyone attending events to tell the world about their experiences at the Festival simply by picking up their phone. By dialing 912-330-4254 audience members can create voice recordings that appear on the Savannah Music Festival website during the event and throughout the year. The program is part of the Festival’s interactive marketing initiatives, allowing concertgoers to voice their experiences and opinions.
“From our past experience, we find that word-of-mouth is a terrific way to build audiences,” remarked Ryan McMaken, Public Relations Manager for the Savannah Music Festival. “When word-of-mouth extends to the Internet, we are reaching thousands of potential new audience members. This program also gives us another very user-friendly way of collecting patrons’ thoughts about our productions.”
“Audiences around the country and across the globe are empowering their voices with Evoca Media Services,” commented Murem Sharpe, CEO and president of Evoca. “We believe that the world class Savannah Music Festival will benefit from Evoca’s Phone-to-Web services during the Festival season and year-round.” Evoca delivers its digital media services to a wide range of users including organizations that run performing and visual arts events, television programs, and radio shows. Evoca services are also accessible this season to millions of viewers of Discovery Channel’s highly popular “Deadliest Catch” television series.
