Reporting to the Executive Director and serving as a member of the senior staff team, the Director leads earned revenue generation, audience development, digital marketing, patron communications, and institutional branding initiatives.
This position manages two full-time team members (Marketing Manager and Patron Services Manager) and oversees key consultants, including LACO’s national public relations firm 21C Media, a local PR consultant, graphic designers, photographers, and videographers.
