Research – Cultural Olympics
The 'Art' strand of the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad features a range
of projects and programmes, from large commissions such as Artists Taking the
Lead to events within the Inspire programme.
The problem with the Cultural Olympiads is that the branding
and marketing is not right. If you were to ask a group of 17-24 year olds only
a handful of people would say they have heard of it, maybe even nobody. It has
been around for four years and the advertising hasn’t been sufficient to
warrant the amount of money being spent on it.
Therefore by introducing advertising on the Internet and T.V
would greatly increase the amount of people who have at least heard of it. By
getting out the idea and events that the Olympiad will be holding it may
improve the acts and events that will be appearing.
Events like “Bell Ringing” and “Opera” will not appeal to
the mass markets, these are some of the main events at the Olympics and
therefor will not bring in large enough audiences. By introducing various acts
like pop music and street dance it will get everyday people involved.
