Shoshana Fanizza
Founder and Chief Audience Builder

Hello! Welcome to my mission. I started ADS back in 2008 to help artists and arts organizations build better audiences using audience development techniques. When I applied audience development to my own marketing and PR work in 2006, I could not believe the results! I had to share this mentality with anyone and everyone who is interested and ready. Each time I work with an artist or arts organization that really takes to the plan we develop, it feels like magic – more people energy, monetary support and overall community for their art and organizations have resulted.  I am the main person behind ADS, and I work with other talented consultants to give you the best services possible. I enjoy seeing healthy audiences and healthy arts businesses, and I am here to help teach you how to create your own happy and loyal audiences.
