Heidi Lekang

Heidi’s first job after graduating was as a Cultural Consultant at the University Hospital, arranging activities and cultural events for the patients and their families. Work involved organizing a monthly cultural calendar, which included concerts, quiz-nights, bowling, hiking and other activities. 

A year later, Heidi moved to become a Marketing Consultant at the Hålogaland Teater, the regional theatre for Norway's two northern most counties; Troms and Finnmark. Five years later, Heidi is still enjoying working at the Hålogaland Teater and is responsible for the theatre's website and social media, as well as sales and marketing towards specific segments depending on the production (primarily schools and corporations). While studying at Goldsmiths, Heidi interned in the Lyric Hammersmith's Development Department, and uses her skills gained at the Lyric to work with the Head of Marketing on development and fundraising for Hålogaland Teater.

Heidi had a break for one year from Hålogaland Teater and worked as a producer for a Picture House and Tromsø International Film Festival. Work involved event planning and  management which was extremely fun and busy. Now Heidi is a mum, she has chosen to return to Theatre Marketing as her favoured career path and now heads a team of three as Head of Marketing at Hålogaland Teater. 

Heidi believes her background from Goldsmiths has helped her to get where she is today, and for that she is very grateful.
