Audience Outlook Monitor: Individual Organization Access

The response to Covid-19 Audience Outlook Monitor has been amazing. Cohorts of cultural organizations in cities, regions, and countries all over the world have joined the study, backed by a wide array of service organizations and funders. The scale of the research is unprecedented, and it will continue through the end of 2020, and, most likely, into 2021, bringing a steady stream of data into the fraught landscape of decision making. 

 

We’ve been contacted by many individual cultural organizations who would like to participate to gain insights on their specific audiences, but we haven’t had a solution to this challenge until now. 

 

Beginning September 1, WolfBrown, in partnership with our colleague Ron Evans of Dramatic Strategies, will open up participation in the Audience Outlook Monitor study to a cohort of 20 individual cultural organizations on a first come, first served basis. 

 

To be eligible, individual organizations must be able to deploy the survey protocol via email to their own ticket buyers or members, and explore results via guided access to WolfBrown’s online dashboard tool. Participants will connect with peer leaders from other cultural organizations to explore the implications of the results moving forward. 

 

If you have questions before submitting your organization's information, please contact Ron Evans at ron@askronevans.com.
