Made Media

Last week in beautiful Stratford-upon-Avon: A rare Made Media, Basker and CrowdHandler family reunion. Nearly the whole team got together for an away day of conversation and camaraderie. (This tree, we were told, is 1300 years old.) Special thanks to our friends at the Royal Shakespeare Company for the backstage tour of their beautiful house.

Michaela Drapes, Made's Director of Strategy and Consulting, shares her thoughts about the unique challenges of selling tickets and how to give your patrons the beautiful, seamless experience they deserve on the High Velocity podcast with Justin Burrows.

Once upon a time I met Justin Burrows at my very first job out of college, and I was thrilled to death that he reached out to invite me on his new podcast for High Velocity to talk about my glamorous life in the arts and the joy of delivering beautiful, durable and reliable e-commerce experiences for our clients here at Made Media. We also go hard on The Gilded Age and Oasis and Mitski, so obviously you should give it a listen. True story: Justin is inadvertently the reason I've ended up in working in arts and culture world, and I'm not-so-secretly grateful to him for that.

We’re here in Washington D.C. with team Made Media, ready for #TLCC2024. Drop by the Made Media table in the sponsor zone to find out more about Basker and arrange a demo.

We're also looking for a developer to join our front end team, building beautiful, responsive HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for our arts and cultural clients. You'll bring a strong design background and passion for creating accessible user interfaces. This role is based in the UK. Drop us a note via our page or website to find out more.

We've got a couple of great jobs open at the moment. Hot on the heels of hiring one new digital producer in our US-based team, we're back on the market once more, to expand the team again. As a digital producer working with our amazing clients in the arts and cultural space, you'll use your understanding of their businesses, project management skills, and digital know-how to guide them through every step of their relationship with us. If you have any questions about the role, don't hesitate to get in touch with us via our page or website.

🚀 We're happy to announce our work with the Metropolitan Opera regarding the new Met Opera app! Together with Made Media we have worked to create a tool to support the Met's rush program, take it to the next - digital - level and launched a Tessitura integrated app for all audiences. Among other audience engagement features, the new Met Opera app offers a digital lottery to leverage a holistic mobile ticketing experience, increase audience engagement and revenue, and enhance the digital strategy with new technology solutions. Our mission: Use technology and NextGen Apps to enable more people to enjoy arts and culture. 🚀 Thanks to the amazing Metropolitan Opera team and Made Media, it's a pleasure working with you all. #MetOpera #Innovation #AudienceEngagement #MobileApp #CulturalSector #TechInArts #DigitalAudienceEngagement #easyconnect #newaudiences #NextGenApps
