We’re a 170-year-old organisation but before 2015 we knew very little about our audiences.

The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust

Whether you’re a museum, theatre or heritage site you exist to share your vision and values with the wider world. Understanding the dynamics of your current audiences is the first step towards building deeper, longer-lasting relationships with them. Our research will help you profile your audiences – we’ll tell you exactly who’s visiting, why they came, what they did and how they felt about their visit – both in person and online. But it’s our insight that will shape your decision-making: we’ll give you clear recommendations to develop new audiences, grow engagement, build loyalty and, ultimately, connect more people with your cause.
