Project Description

About ASSET

High-quality and efficient methodology merges with the platform reaching hundreds of thousands of viewers in twelve European countries.

The main goal of ASSET is to develop, test and provide theatres/performing arts organizations across Europe with the tool and skills to learn about their audiences and utilize the findings to diversify and deepen the relationship with their audiences and creating their artistic program and marketing using the European Theatre Night and similar audience development events as a focal point. The project is based on audience segmentation methodology. The ASSET theatre audience segmentation prototype is developed for 20 theatres from 5 European cities.
