Services

We are audience specialists.

We are passionate about helping creative organisations bring audience voices into their decision-making. We know that those who do are more likely to grow and thrive.

We love helping you find out who your audiences are, how they behave and what they think, then using this insight to create strategies that connect with them for long-term success. We pride ourselves on our collaborative, consultative and pragmatic approach, providing sensible solutions to give you the confidence to move forwards.

Our team has years of experience in the creative sector. We have worked in-house in senior insight, marketing and communications roles, and we've worked across a vast range of Indigo clients. We bring that experience and expertise to every project we work on.

Whether you are looking to understand your audiences better, connect with them more effectively or grow them for the future, we can help.

Impact and evaluation

The most important piece of insight for any organisation in the arts and culture sector is what impact you are having in the world. Telling the bigger-picture story of your organisation or unpicking how a project changed hearts, minds or lives is vital to our collective purpose. But telling this story can be hard. 

Capturing the data and evidence needed and then distilling it into a compelling narrative can often get side-lined in the flurry of reporting requirements or the excitement of moving onto the next project. 

Luckily, we're here to help.

  • Impact frameworks
  • Evaluation

Audience-focused systems

Are you trying to engage more first timers, revive lapsed customers, increase frequency or just understand more about your audience behaviour? We can work with you to devise a strategy to meet your CRM targets and help you work out how to implement it efficiently. 

And if you decide you need a new system to support this - or simply some help evaluating or getting the best out of your current one - we can guide you through the process of assessing your needs, scoping the market and making the right choice with you.
