Museum´s campaign “Jewels” wins the Luxury Awards Prize
The Bilbao fine Arts Museum's campaign “Jewels” wins the Luxury Awards Prize in the Direct and Promotional Marketing category. Of the more than 350 entries in the competition, only 25 were selected by a jury comprising leading figures in the world of communication
Last year the Museo del Bellas Artes de Bilbao implemented a new plan with the aim of singling out 17 masterpieces from its permanent collection. Following a strategy of “content marketing”, 17 texts were written on the works, which provided visitors with keys to their visual reading and highlighted the exceptional quality of each one. The next stage was to design a specific label for this information and to design a plan with their location.

The percentage of response was a notable 25.4%, which was more than satisfactory for this campaign and its strategy.
This new prize adds to the list of awards recently received for the collaboration between the Museum and Herederos de Rowan, among them the Laus 2012 for Innovation in Museum Communication.
