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 />
