August is usually a quieter month in the art world, making it a golden opportunity to regroup and prepare for the autumn season. Zara Doshi, Account Director at Pelham Communications, shared her tips on using this downtime strategically. She covered:

  • Tips for maintaining relationships such as visiting exhibitions and wider reading for upcoming projects

  • Early planning advice and expectation-setting for Frieze 2025 (useful knowledge whether you work in the commercial sector of not!)
