Bubble Shooters Network

Engaging communication for art, heritage and culture.

Bubble Shooters Network is a leading audience engagement agency that creates digital brand and communication strategies for the cultural sector.

We use digital platforms as a tool to make art relevant in daily life and establish a strong position for arts and culture in communities.


We create visibility and impact by:

  • Audience-centric strategies that build the relevance of art for people.
  • Designing sustainable strategies for long-term success in the cultural sector.
  • Creating engaging content that brings out the authenticity of art, craftsmanship and their stories.
  • Implementing accessible workflows for daily execution of tasks for artists and art professionals.

We are a team based in Amsterdam that works on international projects in the cultural sector. The company was founded in 2021 by Boudewien Chalmers Hoynck van Papendrecht since we have worked together with a broad range of clients from the Rijksmuseum and DRIFT to Cultural Emergency Response.

Network

In the fall of 2023 we formed a partnership New York City-based writer, editor, and digital strategist Julia Fiore. This collaboration is driven by our shared vision to create connections between art and the public through compelling narratives. Together, we are exploring innovative ways to bring the unique perspectives of artists and the diversity of cultural expression to wider audiences. Our partnership allows us to harness our combined expertise to meet the evolving needs of the international cultural sector and redefine how art is communicated and experienced in the digital age.
