Portsmouth Museum and Art Gallery Tender: VH Insights Intel

The Advertist recently published a tender by Portsmouth City Council seeking expressions of interest from experienced family engagement specialists to help the Portsmouth Museum and Art Gallery become a more family friendly destination and create resources for a family audience.

Those looking to put themselves forward for this need to be armed with data and insight that might help them acquire this new business.

Desk research specialist Victor Houghton at VH Insights, the man behind the facts and research for our new business briefing podlets has provided us with some insight that might help in this area.

VH Insights notes:

•             Millennials are becoming parents – accounting for 82% of babies born in 2016. Brands targeting them need, therefore, to consider that these mums and dads look and behave differently from the parents of previous generations. Insights into the millennial parent’s family reality can help brands connect with this merged audience.

•             A marketing strategy that understands the purpose of why families are together and promotes modern family life as embracing togetherness, inter-generational sharing and wellbeing will resonate with and attract families.

•             The total number of families has risen by nearly 9% over the last 20 years, in line with the growth of the UK population.

•             Gardens (34%), historic buildings (28%) and museums (26%) are the top three attractions potential visitors would like to attend in the next 12 months. Mintel November 2020

•             56% of UK adults agree that visiting attractions closer to home has become more appealing.

•             Indoor activities such as visiting theatres and museums have become less appealing for those contemplating domestic holidays. Visiting beaches and natural parks have become more popular.

•             The Black Country Living Museum (BCLM) in the town of Dudley, England, brought history to life on TikTok in the name of education.

Prince’s Trust tender: exclusive VH Insights intel

Last week, The Advertist published a tender from The Prince’s Trust, seeking potential digital suppliers, involving youth outreach, social and influencer activity.

Any agencies looking to put themselves forward for this prestigious project need to be armed with as much intel as possible about the prospect and the wider youth and charity sector.

At The Advertist, our entire mission is to arm agencies with up-to-the-minute data and insight that might help them in their mission to acquire new business.

So we asked Victor Houghton at VH Insights, the man behind the facts and research for our new business briefing podlets to provide us with some insight that might help anyone in the new business area.

The Prince’s Trust is a youth charity oriented to young people aged 11 to 30. Through the provision of innovative, high quality personal development opportunities, it helps these young people get into work, education, self-employment or training.

VH Insights notes:

  • With recent changes, apprenticeship schemes are now more expensive, meaning employers have to pay more. – Trajectory
  • Young Britons’ hopes and dreams are misaligned with where the future of the workplace is heading. Among 14- to 18-year-olds, the most popular career path is within art and culture, entertainment, or sport, with half of these teens saying they’re uninterested in any other sector. But with interest in this field five times as higher than the projected demand for such jobs in the economy, there’s a huge gap between aspirations and reality. Canvas8 / Education and Employers.
  • A UK government survey found that donations made online/via a website was the only method of charitable giving which was more widely used in the early days of the pandemic than before the pandemic. Gov.uk
  • 29% of UK charity donors say they want to change someone’s life. GlobalWebIndex
  • TV is the dominant medium for charity adspend, currently with a 45% share. Digital’s share has been increasing – from 5% in 2016 to 14% in the first half of 2020. Mintel / Nielsen
  • Younger consumers gravitate to social media, older consumers remain loyal to TV. Les Binet, group head, effectiveness at agency adam&eveDDB said that although this observation is not surprising, Coronavirus is leading to a sharper bifurcation. “That schism between the older and the younger audiences has … become more stark [and] more of a polarised picture.” WARC
