The Synergy <strong>of</strong> Success<br />
...Why Agora Gallery Works<br />
Chiara Mortaroli<br />
… Marketing Assistant<br />
Anyone who’s worked with this Agora Gallery<br />
team <strong>of</strong> women knows that serious work is<br />
always balanced with serious play.<br />
Chiara arrives at Agora in the<br />
morning, switches on the lights<br />
<strong>of</strong> the gallery, <strong>and</strong> before logging<br />
into her emails or answering phone messages<br />
she likes to soak in <strong>and</strong> admire all the artwork<br />
that surrounds her.<br />
Then, as her day begins, after discussing whatever<br />
the current needs are for the gallery with<br />
her colleagues, she turns on her computer <strong>and</strong><br />
researches… distinguishing talented artists from<br />
his/ her webpage or blog. She contacts them providing<br />
information regarding Agora’s promotional<br />
<strong>and</strong> exhibition services as well inviting them to<br />
consider entering the Chelsea International Fine<br />
<strong>Art</strong> Competition. She makes sure to follow up…<br />
making sure that any questions are answered.<br />
Being Marketing Assistant involves being present<br />
not only though email, but also though Agora’s reception<br />
telephone. And with new communication<br />
tools such as Facebook, she provides assistance<br />
to artists who are represented by Agora regarding<br />
their electronic or postcard invitations for the exhibition<br />
<strong>and</strong> follows up with promotional material<br />
when the exhibition is over.<br />
Chiara says: When we gather together for a meeting,<br />
the atmosphere is always very vibrant with the<br />
ideas that we share with each other regarding art<br />
<strong>and</strong> projects; we are constantly finding new ways<br />
to improve our services. I find that there is always<br />
a good mood in the gallery <strong>and</strong> even when stress<br />
comes we never lose control <strong>of</strong> the situation. I<br />
believe that is mainly because <strong>of</strong> the experienced<br />
guidance <strong>of</strong> Ms. Angela, who is a daily source <strong>of</strong><br />
inspiration for all <strong>of</strong> us.<br />
