We’re trying to create a venue for an audience who might find even the word ‘museum’ off-putting…[MHM’s] insight has informed absolutely everything we’ve done.

You might be an established cultural organisation wanting to increase your market penetration and attract more visitors. Equally, you might want to expand your market and attract new, different and more diverse visitors. Or you might have secured funding for a brand-new museum, or a major redevelopment project, and want to make sure there’s a market for your offer. Either way, you’ll need robust, representative and reliable real-number estimates of the size and demographic profile of your potential market, together with rich insights into what motivates your audiences to engage with culture and what barriers might prevent them from attending, and actionable strategies for reaching and engaging them. We offer market appraisals, market segmentation and rich, funding-compliant audience development plans to help you engage more audiences, more deeply, with your offer.
