WHAT ARE THE AUDIENCE FINDER DATA TOOLS?
Audience Finder Original
The essential way to begin understanding your audiences.
Audience Finder Original is the arts and culture sector’s only free, national, truly data-driven audience development tool. Our technology, research and expertise empower organisations to easily understand, compare and apply audience insight in order to build resilience and strong, lasting relationships with audiences.
Audience Finder Answers
The next generation of audience insight for the cultural sector in Scotland.
We’ve been talking to our users a lot recently. We asked what you really need your audience data for, and what stops you from getting the most out of it. Your answers became Audience Finder Answers: the new insight tool, designed to make it easy for you to find the information you need the most and use it effectively to achieve your audience goals.
Audience Finder Show Stats
The revolutionary insight platform for touring organisations and ticketed venues.
Show Stats is the revolutionary audience insight tool that allows touring companies and organisations to see their audiences on a performance-by-performance basis, across a full tour, season or in custom groupings of their choice. Audience Finder Show Stats provides invaluable insights to create the strongest possible integrated marketing plans or to build effective cases for funding and partnership work.
Audience Finder Plus
Take your data journey further with our range of tailored services.
Subsidised by our funders, this range of highly affordable tools and services will help you get a bit more out of Audience Finder. Developed with our users, each of these services helps tailor Audience Finder to meet more specific needs.
Audience Finder Community
Be part of the UK’s largest arts, culture and heritage community of data users.
The Audience Finder Community is where you will find the resources required to help you get the most from the tools and services available, and offers a space to interact with other users and like-minded arts professionals.
Audience Spectrum
The most powerful segmentation tool for the cultural sector.
Audience Spectrum segments the whole UK population by their attitudes towards culture, and by what they like to see and do. There are 10 different profiles that you can use to understand who lives in your local area, what your current audiences are like, and what you could do to build new ones. Audience Spectrum is the most accurate tool the sector has ever had to help target audiences, and include a wider public.

The Audience Agency is a mission-led charity: our purpose is to enable cultural organisations to use our national data to increase their relevance, reach and resilience.
We believe arts and culture have the power to improve the quality of people’s lives, to create meaning and community, to promote empathy and learning. The more citizens are involved in shaping culture and taking part, the greater the power. Our mission is to give the public a voice in shaping a vibrant, relevant culture.
