The New Wolsey Theatre is an innovative regional theatre based in Ipswich, UK. Faced with a climate of economic recession, the theatre management team requested market research to be conducted on their audiences by the consultancy TRG Arts. A careful analysis of data was a key factor in restructuring their business model. Consequently, it has led the organisation to become a benchmark of audience relationship optimisation through employing technology, by transforming data into valuable information for the decision-making process.
