Planning a campaign or channel
Ideally, planning is a group activity ...
•   What’s the gap you’re trying to fill?

•   Have you looked at your existing channels?
•   How does this fit with your wider objectives & marketing or
    comms plan?
•   Do you know which audiences you’re trying to attract?
•   Can you re-use branding, content, ‘spokespeople’?
•   Who should be aware of this activity?

... but ownership of the channel is clear
                                                             19
The 4-step process
Questions to ask yourself ....

•   Why do you want to do this?
•   What are you offering?
•   Who is this for?
•   Who will be doing this?

... before choosing a platform

                                  20
Writing a business case
Objective

  wider goals and activities?




                                           21
Writing a business case

Outline activity
• What’s in scope? What’s not?

Outline resources needed
• Actual costs
• Staff resource (set-up and running)



                                        22
Writing a business case

Risks and mitigations

                                        23
Creating policies
What’s the point of the policy? Who needs to
read it? What do you want out of it?

•   Staff ‘behaviour’

Evaluation and reporting
Important questions to ask first
• What are meaningful metrics for you and for
  your organisation?
• What are you going to use this information
  for?
• Are there existing benchmarks you can use?




                                        25

Mining Facebook
Surveying tool: Brooklyn Museum

 We'd like your feedback before we decide on
 any specific format for a new catalog, so this
 week I'll be asking a few questions about your
 preferences. Your thoughts will help guide our
 next steps and I look forward to your input.



                                         32
Mining Facebook
Who has fans like yours?

  If you can identify similarities between the fan
  membership of your own institution and those
  of others you can start to think of new
  partnerships and collaborative opportunities.
                            Seb Chan, Powerhouse Museum

                                               33

Mining Facebook
Look at flow on effects

• What happens if you post more often, or less
  frequently?
• What happens if you post different kinds of
  content?
• What are the demographics of your fans?
  What kind of content do they respond to?


                                         35
Evaluation and reporting
How to report back
•   Constantly share good feedback

As part of the government act the Te Papa board has the function: To cooperate with and assist other New Zealand museums in establishing a national service, and of providing appropriate support to other institutions and organisations holding objects or collections of national importance. The team has 8 staff, 5 who are permanently based at Te Papa and 3 Development Officers who work in the field providing face to face support and feeding back to the team the needs of the sector.
  2. NSTP offers support, advice, and practical assistance on museum matters such as: governance, management, and planning care of collections and taonga exhibitions and other public services relationships with communities customer service. Their services and programmes include: the New Zealand Museums Standards Scheme Ngā Kaupapa Whaimana a Ngā Whare Taonga o Aotearoa   He Rauemi Resource Guides practical training opportunities Development Officer service a freephone helpline: 0508 NSTP HELP (0508 678 743) professional development opportunities research on mātauranga Māori and the development of cultural centres presentations by national and international subject experts on-site support.

  3. NSTP is committed to building the skills of all museum personnel, and improving opportunities for professional development. Their services and programmes cover all aspects of museum practice, and they provide training at both regional and national levels. Through consultation they identify the training needs of individual museums, and groups of museums. They provide a range of professional development and training opportunities, ranging from entry level to advanced. Workshops are held on marae and in museums to meet the varying needs of New Zealand’s museums and iwi. They also have a Museum Internship Graduate Programme and Museum Internship and Secondment Programme
  4. The New Zealand Museums Standards Scheme Ngä Kaupapa Whaimana a Ngä Whare Taonga o Aotearoa supports both large and small museums to reach higher levels of professionalism. Practical and user-friendly, the Standards Scheme manual assists museums to review their practices against a set of standards. Museums can see where they’re doing well, and identify areas for improvement. Participating in the Standards Scheme also sends a message to current or potential funders that a museum is committed to best practice and continuous improvement. The manual is a free tool for museums to use in the way that suits them best. For example: In a formal review process, museum personnel review their own practices against the standards in the manual, then we arrange for peer reviewers to visit and carry out a review. This service is offered to museums at no charge. Informally, museum personnel use the manual as a resource guide for operating and governing their museum. For a free copy of the Standards Scheme manual or to register or find out more about the Scheme, contact us – details are at the back of this brochure. Iwi can use the manual for guidance in the long-term care of taonga, and in safeguarding their heritage for the future.
