An introduction to digital content for mobile, and developing mobile phone applications with Gavin Dutch, Loc8 Solutions:

• Should arts organisations be optimising existing digital content for mobile phones?
• What about creating new content for mobile? What content works well?
• Should we be considering developing a mobile phone application?
• What’s the business model?
• Where/how do you sell apps?
• How do you capture data from mobile customers?

Each Amb:IT:ion Scotland webinar is UNIQUE and shouldn’t be missed by anyone with ambitions to enhance their digital offering! The webinars have been designed with Scottish cultural organisations and individual artists in mind, and the content and style of the webinars will appeal to those working in the cultural sector.

Bringing the best minds in digital innovation to your doorstep, the Amb:IT:ion Scotland webinars:

• are masterclasses - about thinking closely around one strategic digital opportunity
• provide practical how-to information to take away
• provide good and bad case studies to give you ideas of how you might successfully implement digital developments
• are about networking and sharing with peers on the same learning path as you
• can be attended in person, or can be participated live online, or can be viewed online on demand later.

Some of the basics that you will need to decide whether or not certain digital developments are worth investing in by you/your organisation.
