THE NETHERLANDS' FIRST NEW MEDIA ART MUSEUM
Overview
Nxt Museum is the first museum in the Netherlands dedicated to New Media Art. The museum opened its doors in August 2020, amid the Covid-19 pandemic. This bold move fits Nxt perfectly as it aims to be the ultimate next-generation museum, moving away from traditional art set-ups and speaking to an audience visiting nightclubs more often than art galleries. As tickets are exclusively sold online, Nxt Museum decided to team up with Hide and Seek due to our experience in the cultural industry. For this brand new museum, our goal was not only to sell tickets but also to generate awareness for the museums’ brand and product offering (New Media Art).
To do so, we implemented a multi-channel strategy with carefully selected channels and integrated these online activities with Nxt’s offline awareness campaigns. We implemented a targeting strategy based on client personas, and used different types of ads and messaging to reach each of them with the most relevant message. Although we were limited due to Covid-19 regulations, we have continuously adjusted and made sure that our campaigns were optimally set up to fit whatever the situation at the moment was. Whether this included changes in keyword-, geographical- or theme-targeting, we have made sure to always be relevant for our audience.
