As headline sponsor, we’re proud to support the awards that celebrate the very best in museums, galleries and heritage visitor attractions worldwide.
Altair is an award-winning, independent, global media agency.
We are a recognised media leader and industry innovator delivering regional, national and global campaigns for our clients and are the partner of choice for ambitious brands looking to drive meaningful business results.
Altair was built as a challenger agency. Born from a frustration with bloated, legacy models that serve themselves more than the client. We can deliver real business impact by thinking differently, acting faster and pushing harder.
If you want to:
- Increase attendance
- Diversify your audience
- Improve retention and customer loyalty
We want to talk to you!
We can help you:
Increase revenue
- Ultimately revenue is reliant on attendance. Marketers at museums, galleries and heritage organisations need to implement campaigns that generate footfall and ticket sales.
- Our campaigns have commercial income at their heart. Strategic media planning, efficient budget allocation and integrated multichannel advertising combine to drive sales.
Grow and diversify audiences
- The Arts, Culture and Heritage should appeal to everyone in society. Growing your audience is dependent on identifying and speaking to groups that might not usually visit your venue.
- Our research and targeting helps you reach broader and more representative audiences, especially young, local, Global Ethnic Majority, low-income and access groups, while deepening engagement with current attendees.
Enhance loyalty and grow memberships
- Appealing to new audiences doesn’t mean forgetting about your existing customers!
- We will focus relentlessly on encouraging repeat visits and building long-term relationships, specifically targeting Memberships and loyalty programmes where relevant.
Strengthen Brand
- Brand recognition and values are crucial.
- We can help you elevate and reinforce your positioning as a world-leading cultural institution through high-impact media, storytelling and brand awareness campaigns.
We can help you increase revenue, deepen loyalty and strengthen your brand.
