A perfect storm hit Carolina Performing Arts in November 2023. Just as their busy performance season began, they lost key staff members: the Marketing and Communications Director and the Digital Communications Specialist. In this success story, we describe how JCA's agile approach to interim staffing helped Carolina Performing Arts maintain momentum during a critical time.
In early 2023, the Perelman Performing Arts Center (PAC NYC) was preparing for its inaugural season as a major international cultural institution in the heart of revived Lower Manhattan. JCA was honored to be selected to develop the PAC's pricing strategy for opening and beyond. In this success story, we describe our approach to this project, leveraging conjoint analysis, market research, and our tested pricing best practices.
