- 2. Executive Summary
BCG identified four ways that digital initiatives can benefit cultural institutions
• Increase access: digital initiatives can reach new audiences (e.g. kids/people with disabilities)
• Promote engagement: interactivity via social media/apps creates an immersive experience
• Enhance the experience: adding additional "unseen" information/background to physical art
• Generate new revenues: monetization of digitized content can drive additional revenues
This deck showcases selected international examples of digital culture initiatives
