Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. Needs to be totally focused on how visitor attractions can use this to drive people into the venue. Old Vic example is nice as this is using a space of theirs to drive engagement and interest, this supports secondary spaces, a younger audience and could convert to visitors. Need to think how else can use - open spaces around the venue, integrated into existing marketing / plans - how would this work on a newsletter - certainly
