HELPING THE MET REACH
A NEW AUDIENCE
For this project, Level 3 Travel & Tourism students
worked with The Met to help attract more young
people aged 12–17 to the theatre. After receiving a live
project brief, students carried out market research,
developed event proposals and presented their ideas
to a panel from The Met before creating promotional
content to support the winning campaign.
