Selective Extensions
or international positioning. They do not replace DIGIPR’s core delivery model and are not applied by default.
Institutional Positioning Memorandum
A compact internal document clarifying the organisation’s role in its field, international context, and non-negotiable boundaries. Used to align leadership, boards, and partners before any external communication.
Typical contexts: leadership transitions, new seasons, funding cycles, repositioning, international expansion.
Output: 3–7 page memorandum, narrative priorities, stakeholder map.
Programme Narrative Architecture
A narrative structure ensuring coherence across seasons, editions, commissions, touring, and partnerships. Prevents fragmentation and maintains meaning across public communication.
Typical contexts: festivals, competitions, multi-venue programmes, international collaborations.
Output: narrative spine, thematic framing, messaging guardrails.
Foundation & Grant-Facing Communications Review
Review and refinement of funding-facing materials to ensure legitimacy, clarity, and institutional relevance without promotional tone. Designed for boards, foundations, and public funding bodies.
Typical contexts: grant applications, foundation reporting, mixed-funding models, EU collaborations.
Output: annotated review, rewrite guidance, final polished versions where required.
Sensitivity & Reputation Risk Review
Pre-publication assessment identifying cultural, ethical, political, and institutional risks that may distort interpretation or damage long-term credibility.
Typical contexts: programme announcements, partnerships, sensitive themes, international settings.
Output: risk map, scenario analysis, mitigation strategies, response framing if required.
Executive Representation Support
Briefing and preparation for individuals representing the institution externally. Focused on institutional judgement and boundary management rather than performance coaching.
Typical contexts: artistic directors, CEOs, jury chairs, board chairs, founders.
Output: briefing notes, talking points, boundary lines, interview preparation.
International Cultural Placement Strategy
A targeted approach to cross-border visibility through appropriate contexts: specialist publications, curatorial networks, institutional partners, and trusted intermediaries. Selective, high-signal outreach only.
Typical contexts: touring, international co-productions, export initiatives, applicant recruitment.
Output: target landscape, approach strategy, execution plan (and outreach if agreed).
