Not only will our research help the consortium identify opportunities to further engage visitors, it will also help them navigate some of the wider challenges facing the cultural sector.
While the consortium is collectively interested in uncovering and pooling insights to better understand their own audiences and how these compare across different sites and organisations, we believe it is also useful to look more broadly – going beyond the cultural sphere and extending into other relevant sectors.
To help with this research, we will be launching MoVE (a proprietary Measure of Visitor Experience) in the coming months, which will enable the consortium to gain a better understanding of the wider landscape as well as benchmark its own visitor findings.

“DJS Research is delighted to have been selected to carry out this research for such a prestigious consortium of world-class visitor attractions. We are uniquely positioned to deliver insight that meets the needs of this changing sector, facing new challenges. We are very much looking forward to helping the consortium drive reach, revenue and reputation with their cultural audiences and beyond.”
Judith Comyn, Head of Audience Insight at Tate, said of the new partnership:
“The consortium formed some 9 years ago to conduct rolling visitor research across all our sites allowing us to share insights and to benchmark. We recently undertook an extensive collaborative procurement exercise to choose the supplier who would provide us with robust and predictive insights over the next four years to continue to help us better understand our audiences in an increasingly challenging competitive climate. DJS Research put forward an innovative solution that will not only achieve this but will also help us explore more widely, as to how we compare with other relevant sectors, such as leisure and tourism. .We are very much looking forward to working with them on this important research”.
