NSO Publicity and Marketing
As members of the orchestra, we all want our hard work to be heard and it’s important that we help to publicise concerts wherever possible. Flyers and posters are produced for every performance; please take some to display, and make use of the digital version which we email over to you.
NSO has an active presence on social media. Like our Facebook page, follow us on Twitter and ask all your friends to do the same!
If you’d like to help out with our orchestra’s marketing and publicity in any way, please speak to the orchestra’s Marketing Officer.
