"In a world where art and the market dance together with a complicated rhythm, Dr Kolb's Marketing Strategies for the Creative and Cultural Industries arrives not as a textbook, but as a compass, guiding creative professionals, cultural managers, and the everyday makers to translate their art into the language of the markets. With theoretical frameworks that feel more like choreography than cold analysis, she teaches us how to move in harmony with audiences and how to use data to serve inspiration. What makes this book extraordinary is its unwavering belief in the value of creativity - not as a commodity, but as a force of transformation. For any creative maker yearning to be seen and heard but also for all the cultural institutions around the globe seeking impact and sustainability, this book is both scholarly and soulful, passionate and pragmatic, a symphony of insight for the creators who want to powerfully claim their place in the world."
