'The data profiling work carried out by Audiences South West (now Audiences London Plus) has given us a much better understanding of who our audiences are and where they come from. We now have a really clear body of evidence showing the potential to grow and diversify our audiences in the future. Many of the organisations involved in the work were either data poor or lacked capacity to analyse the audience data they already had. The advice and support of the staff at Audiences South West enabled organisations to programme, market and promote their events and activities in a much more strategic and effective way.'
Peter Salt, Arts Development Officer, Bath and North East Somerset Council
