Challenge

A studio creating immersive experiences needed to validate the market potential of a new traveling exhibition in development. However, the project presented a major challenge: although perceived as promising by the creators and conceptors, the theme chosen for the exhibition was niche and involved a risk of not being able to appeal to a mass audience. The client needed help to validate the project’s potential, its theme and its execution in the United States, in order to solidify its business plan and raise financing.

Mandate

Concept validation of a new traveling exhibition built for the American market leveraging market and consumer data.
