SUCCESS STORY

Evolution and transformation

Brooklyn Museum was wrangling more than a dozen disparate systems to hold their visitor data. There was no way to get a clear look at their customer journey, putting segmentation and personalized experiences out of reach.

They set out to try a new CRM, but their first selection proved to be unsustainable. The technology was brittle and couldn’t grow with them. The support team didn’t understand museums and couldn’t fit a solution to their needs.

Finally, they found Tessitura, a “future-proof” system. Tessitura was made for arts and culture teams, and every enhancement is designed to support their missions.
