About Lucy White

Freelance arts marketing consultant specialising in contemporary dance

I am a freelance arts marketing consultant with over 20 years experience working in the industry. Prior to becoming freelance, I spent 12 years at Sadler’s Wells where I led the marketing for the venue’s in house productions on tour both nationally and internationally. I was also marketing lead on two strategic tours for Breakin’ Convention, and for the National Youth Dance Company.

Since then, I have worked with a range of independent artists and companies on marketing campaigns and audience development initiatives. Currently, I am Head of Marketing at Dance Umbrella (freelance) and am enjoying working with dance and circus clients.

I was also part of the three-woman team behind the Talking Moves podcast, launched by Greenwich Dance in 2020.

Areas of specialism include but are not limited to:

  • Copywriting

  • Marketing planning for touring

  • Venue Liaison

  • Digital campaigns

  • Website briefing

  • Design and print experience (including brochures, programmes and tour print)

  • Marketing strategy consultation

  • Brand development

  • Social media strategy

  • Podcast production

I am a member of the Arts Marketing Association and trustee on the board of Hornsey Town Hall Trust, an independent buildings preservation trust set up to help secure the future of the iconic north London building.

I enjoy taking photographs and am a former co-president of Muswell Hill Photographic Society.
