C A T A L Y S T :   With an ever-increasing amount of interaction happening digitally and at home, the call for in-person museum visits is muffled by the noise of never-ending content channels. To combat this, museums need to adopt a new approach to connection. Museums need dynamic and living interaction. They need agents of change. They need catalysts. Olmsted Consulting mines hidden catalysts in your institution through expert curation and skilled application. As a child, I fell deeply in love with museums, and then again in my work with them as an adult. It is a passion of mine to protect these important cultural institutions by helping them develop robust and sustainable sources of community building and revenue production.

Creative Consulting/Content Development:

As a former exhibition designer for the Field Museum of Natural History, I bring a deep understanding of content development and design to your project. Storytelling is the heart of everything we do. Finding the right delivery vehicle and perspective from which to tell these stories shapes how well they are received and retained. Olmsted Consulting is here to help you craft a perspective and design a storytelling vehicle that will act as a catalyst for curiosity and engagement.

Outreach:

Storytelling doesn’t stop at the door of the Museum. For cultural institutions to maximize their efforts, they need to create dynamic content that meets people where they are and inspires them to visit the Museum. Using the wealth of information that exists within the Museum walls, Olmsted Consulting translates those concepts into new and exciting digital activations that inspire membership growth and social interaction.

Revenue Building/Retail Activation:

With 15 years of experience in retail and product development, Olmsted Consulting can help your institution identify and develop proprietary products and recurring revenue streams that contribute to institutional stability, longevity, and brand recognition.

Project Management:

Museum projects are incredibly dynamic and involve many highly specialized teams. In turn, they require a project manager who is fluent in creative, academic, and logistical vernacular. As a designer and content developer with a history in production, I bring big-picture thinking, team building, and thoughtful communication to your project, ensuring successful completion on time and within budget.
