Museum Exhibition Advertising
Why do an exhibition strategy when it’s more work?
With each new special exhibition campaign, the core questions should be asked afresh:
What is this exhibition?
What is different about it? How does it stand out from everything else that will be going on at the same time?
Who is the target audience?
What will make this target audience care about this particular exhibition?
How does the exhibition align with our core values and organizational mission?
What is the band idea for this exhibition? What is the one thing powerful enough to reach out and sick in the minds of a generally disinterested or distracted public?
We know from experience that the answers are not the answers until we have satisfied the agreed-to strategic requirements for that particular exhibition, established a strong theory as to how the exhibition connects to a clearly identified audience, and checked our strategy against the organization’s mission and values. This is not the same as making a clever or well-designed advertising campaign—it’s more work—but the results speak for themselves in terms of each exhibition advertising campaigns’ capacity to connect with an audience and foster interest and drive attendance.

It’s about what you do, why you do it, and how you do it differently from others. In other words, your brand has to be built on organizational strategy. The people on the inside – employees, donors, and other stakeholders – are just as important as customers, visitors, or prospects.
