By June 16, 2026 No Comments

Sean Kelly is one of the sharpest marketing minds Eric has ever met — and he’s spent his career doing something all arts organizations dearly want to do: truly understand what their audiences want, align it with their own artistic vision, and set ticket prices accordingly.

Sean is the founder of Vatic, a dynamic pricing company for performing arts organizations. His genius is his ability to look at a mountain of data and pull out the story it’s trying to tell — then use that story to fill auditoriums and strengthen arts organizations.
