Campaign

The Auckland Museum website became a content hub and the ultimate destination of all online marketing efforts. Each week new content and experiences would be added to the website encouraging repeat visitation and conversion into visiting the exhibition and associated Volume programming.

The digital campaign sought to attract new, younger, audiences to the museum and this was achieved through rich content delivered in the right channels. Inclusion of social media triggers throughout the exhibition encouraged active participation and social sharing and this was seen with a large uptick in positive social media sentiment.
