Know your current audience development strengths and weaknesses

The trick to audience development is to position your creative offer in a way that is relevant to your target markets and communities. Our online health check offers feedback to identify which areas of audience development you excel in and where there is room for improvement.

Flying Geese supported the team in developing a strategy that seeks to make their audiences more reflective of the Bristol community.
