What's Brewing

Investigation into Preston's Cultural Networks

As part of its ACE funded project - Brewing Up, the Brewtime Collective commissioned a piece of research to investigate Preston's creative networks, communications, and promotion channels.

The purpose of this piece of work was to move us closer to our ambition to Grow, Widen and Strengthen the connections between individuals, groups, and organisations in Preston.

It explored the following questions:

• How wide is the reach of existing mailing lists aimed at the Creatives of Preston?
• How effective are the existing public listings?
• How do Preston's Creatives find out what's on and share their own events?
• Who are the stakeholders in Preston's cultural development that we need to reach?
