Your Agency Partner In The Arts

Arts organisations have a big task: from storytelling and community engagement, to audience growth, funding, and ticket sales.

At Hotfoot, we understand those challenges inside out. For two decades, our award-winning team has worked alongside arts organisations to deliver creative, effective and sustainable brand and digital solutions.

We help you amplify what makes your organisation unique, with beautiful, brand identities, accessible websites, and integrated marketing and ticketing systems designed for the arts sector.

We are a trusted Spektrix partner for website box office integrations and work with a range of other ticketing systems including PatronBase, Ticketsolve, NuTickets and DigiTickets.

Arts organisations we’ve worked with include the Dukes Theatre and Cinema, Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, Lakeland Arts, Hudson Valley Shakespeare, Northern Design Festival, Lancaster Jazz Festival, Light-Up Lancaster, Rosehill Theatre, Creative Lancashire, Windermere Jetty Museum and many others. See examples of our recent work.

What We Offer: Services Tailored for the Arts

Strategic Storytelling & Brand Identity

We begin by working with you to uncover what makes your organisation special: its mission, vision, voice and values. Then we craft a compelling brand identity and narrative that resonates with audiences, funders, patrons, donors, and communities. That foundation helps all future communications feel consistent and meaningful.

Web Design & Accessible Digital Experiences

We build websites that are not just visually engaging, but also intuitive, mobile-friendly and inclusive. Our designs follow modern UX and accessibility best practices, helping ensure your site is usable by everyone, regardless of device or ability.

And because many arts organisations rely on box-office or ticketing systems, we integrate with leading platforms. we’re a partner for Spektrix, and work with others like PatronBase, Ticketsolve, NuTickets and DigiTickets, making ticketing, membership and donations work smoothly behind the scenes.

Marketing, Audience & Community Engagement

We help you reach new and existing audiences via tailored marketing: from social media campaigns, email newsletters and event promotion to community engagement and stakeholder communications. We can also help with fundraising campaigns, donor communications, and membership outreach, crucial for many arts and culture organisations.

Events, Ticketing & Donation Workflows

Whether you run performances, exhibitions, festivals or membership-based venues, we optimise your booking, ticketing and donation flows to make them easy, reliable and user-friendly. This helps you increase ticket sales, reduce friction for users and support loyalty, memberships, and return visits.

Feedback, Analytics & Continuous Improvement

We believe a website or campaign doesn’t simply “go live” and stand still. We build in tools and workflows for gathering visitor feedback, engagement metrics, and donation/ticketing data, so you can learn what works, what doesn’t, and adapt. Over time that offers improved results and a better understanding of your audience.
