What was the
strategy?

Nxt Museum needed a creative way to increase weekday ticket sales by 30%. Together, we came up with an out-of-the-box ‘Bring Your Date’ campaign that would incentivise the target audience by claiming your second ticket at half price with the ‘SPARKWITHART’ code.

We developed an integrated multichannel strategy where we combined the ‘SPARKWITHART’ code together with personalized targeting and unique landing pages. Thereby, we kept the full customer funnel – from ad to purchase – in mind. 

On top of that, we used unconventional channels, like Grindr Ads, the world’s largest social networking app for gay, bi, trans, and queer people, to effectively reach the LGBTQ+ community.


What did we
accomplish?

By implementing a multi-channel strategy and optimally integrating marketing efforts, our campaigns have outdone expectations and targets greatly to boost ticket sales for Monday’s to Wednesday’s. We developed a creative campaign and applied it to multiple channels with a joint message across channels and websites tailored to the target audience. We also used out-of-the-box channels that are not common within online advertising, such as Grindr, but fit this campaign perfectly. 

All these efforts led to an astonishing increase in weekday ticket sales of 36%, which is 6% above target. To top it off, we won the 1st prize in the European Search Awards for the Best Integrated Campaign.

Looking for a tailored
online strategy?

Our customers are different every time. Advertisers selling the exact same products can turn out to need a very different approach due to different margins, different secondary USPs, different setups of marketing teams, and different levels of online savviness. That’s why for each customer, but also for each project within the customers’ organisation, we create a custom plan, every time.

First we’ll need to understand the customers’ organisation and the objectives. By making them quantifiable, we will understand what the boundaries are of how to ‘play the online game’. Then we will dive into your data to understand the current situation and look for opportunities. In order to come up with the right (branding) strategy.

We believe that if both sides – the customer and we as the agency – bring their knowledge to the table, we can make the most successful strategies. That is why we need to get to know each other very well, have clear success metrics in place, we need to zoom out regularly, and always keep an open conversation.

Do you think we can help you to get the most out of your online activities? Feel free to drop us a line. Because we are looking forward to getting to know you!


We always make a tailored plan for each of our clients. With these 4 steps we will find the right solution for you.

1
Getting to know eachother

First, we would like to learn more about your organization, objectives, timeline, and needs. We will explain our services and approach to determine whether there is a match between our organizations. If there is, we can move on to step two.

2
Account Deepdive

Next, we would like to conduct an account deep dive to gain insights that will help us create a fitting proposal. We will use data to determine the channel mix, messaging, and data and tech needs.

3
Proposal Presentation

During our (video) meeting, we will present our proposal outlining our suggested online strategy. We will provide you with different scenarios and related fees, and there will be plenty of time for questions.

4
Let’s start!

After you have reviewed our proposal and selected the scenario that best fits your needs and situation, we can begin working immediately. We look forward to working closely with you to achieve success!
