Merging Geo Social Data & web analytics at the Metropolitan Museum of ART
- 1. Combining Geo-Social Data & Web Analytics to Identify New Marketing Opportunities at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Marshall Sponder Lecturer -Zicklin School of Business Baruch College November 6th, 2014 Social & Digital Analytics Innovation -Miami
- 2. Some of what we offer at the Digital Marketing @Zicklin School of Business Courses Include: •Web Analytics (Adobe & Google Analytics) •Audience Analytics (Comscore) •Programmatic (MediaMath)/trading desk •Social Media Analytics •Viral Media Analytics •SEO/SEM, Email Marketing, etc.
- 3. 3 Objectives •Increase IN-PERSON ENGAGEMENT and MEMBERSHIP at the MET using Geo-Social Data and Web Analytics. •Access the ONLINE PRESENCE of non-profit arts organizations of the MET. •Discover and amplify stories that drive audiences to attend.
- 4. Note: Met Museum Study uses publically available data accessible to anyone
- 5. Studied 11 months of GeoSocial Data at THE MET
- 6. Examine Twitter and Facebook accounts connected to specific audiences at the MET (in a specific location like The Met) for a high score on the Big 5 “Openness” Attitude, to determine individuals who are more likely to be receptive to particular marketing messages and offers from a Brand/Artist/NPO. This can be combined with Art liked (i.e.: selfies with Art)
- 7. There’s at least 50 selfies a Day taken at the MET and most likely we could find 400 Selfies a week (x52), over 21000 a year to analyze.

- 22. 2. Rooftop Bar: Feeling more comfortable in Intellectual Environments
- 23. 2. Rooftop Bar Metrics (sample 9-1-14 / 10-18/14 –11 months is too hard to parse in Geofeedia without API processing): NOTE: Rooftop Garden Café is open May-October, only. Note: estimate over 25,000 Verbatim was posted from the Rooftop mostly from May till now.
- 24. 3. More Cafes: MET DINING ROOM (~27+ verbatim over 11 months –less than .04% TV)Cafes are driving more visitors, esp. to the interior of the MET

- 32. 16. Selfie Behavior (next to art, and in bathrooms)
- 33. 16. Bathroom Selfie Behavior
- 34. Psychographics of Frequent Met Museum Attendees –Twitter Affinities via @Statsocial Age/Gender Combined Frequent return visitors are much more likely to be female. The educational background is mixed
- 35. Unusual Affinities of Frequent MET Museum Goers (perhaps non members displaying Membership Behaviors)
- 36. Unusual Affinities of Frequent MET Museum Goers (perhaps non members displaying Membership Behaviors) What is this “frequent MET museum goer NOT INTERSTED IN? They are not into “Technology”, Politics or Sports, for the most part. Also, they don’t have a lot of extra income, despite appearances suggesting otherwise.
- 37. Acting on the Data Stories at the METROPOLITIAN MUSEUM 1. Have regular music events (place making) taking place at 4-6 PM in Temple of Dendur –invite people to come witness the light, use the MET APP to help with this.. 2. The Rooftop Café Bar is so popular it makes sense to keep it open year round, and put bubble enclosures on the top,so be can come sun themselves over the winter blues. 3. Cafes drive more people deeper in to the museum, where they have occasion to stay longer –but what if The MET partnered with “Starbucks” of Wolfgang Puck to create a special drink or meal that only people could have when they attended to the Museum? Or perhaps, to get the MET to be more present in people’s lives, they could have a frozen version (with a picture of Art at the MET) and people who want that food at home, can buy it and imagine being at the MET – say while eating a special desert, etc.
- 38. Acting on the Data Stories at the METROPOLITIAN MUSEUM 4. Since Selfies are so popular these days, why not invite visitors to “friend” a work of Art at The MET and post to a hashtag –the most popular gets a free gift 5. The MET has done much to make itself more accessible to students, but has yet to create online courses (as MOMA did) which help keep the Museum in top of mind, even when someone can’t come. 6. The MET is also a great place to have a DATE –not only could they promote that, but they could also be a “matchmaker” as well. 7. People come to the MET just to sit on the steps and remember “Gossip Girl”. The MET should celebrate that by dedicating a step to “XOXO” and creating more special places in the MET people can explore (perhaps using the APP) 8. As visitors are already taking pictures of themselves in bathrooms at the MET, why not give them a way to pose against a frame or picture of Art in the Collection?
- 39. Additional things the MET could do to increase engagement with the Art within the museum. 1.Study the Brand Affinities of frequent attendees to better understand the programming and events that would be effective in driving more engagement. Possibly build “look alike audiences” based on the Twitter and Instagram frequent attendees we captured in Geofeedia over the last year. 2.Enhance the MET Museum App with iBeacon, wire the museum with iBeacons and create programming that can interact with the app and engage the visitor. 3.Install Presence Analytics over Met Museum Wi-Fi to connect virtual and physical visitor identify. Offer coupons and other real time offers to users of the Met Museum App as they transverse the museum. Possibly run games and various “hunts” that better engage users as well as helping them learn more about the Art.
