challenge

The Tate Modern is an internationally renowned gallery with a reputation for showing ground-breaking art and artists

Involving musicians such as The Chemical Brothers and Graham Coxon, Tate Tracks was a unique project to connect urban youths with visual art

The Media Foundry was tasked with launching the project and keeping the initiative fresh during the twelve month exhibit

creative solution: tracks

We staged a high profile press conference at the Tate Modern with a number of the musicians involved in the exhibit.  After the initial national media blitz, the campaign targeted various vertical markets to further extend awareness, such as the music, style and youth press, artist fan sites, forums and blogs, as well as leisure and entertainment sites

campaign results

Media coverage generated was valued at £1.2m across national newspapers, commercial & BBC radio, as well as a diverse range of consumer, lifestyle and music press

The online drive saw 1 million Google references to Tate Tracks in the first month

Commercial success - admissions to the exhibit rocketed during the media blitz

"The support of The Media Foundry was invaluable when it came to securing editorial coverage in the style mags and across a wide range of music channels including press, TV & radio"
