Creative Trust – Constituent Briefing Segmentation Models: Performing Arts Ticket Buyers: Major University Presenters (2007) 6

Creative Trust – Constituent Briefing Online Survey Methodology • Protocol builds on qualitative data from 195 interviews • 51,541 invitations sent to 14 email lists • 7,645 responses received (~15% response) • Lengthy survey (about 15 minutes to complete) • Aggressive use of incentives • Survey data matched to purchase data through email address • Acknowledge bias from self-selection and bias from online administration 7

Creative Trust – Constituent Briefing Ticket Buyer Model: Input Variables • Core values (13 inner-directed, 9 outer-directed) - e.g. “ Rej ecting authority and making your own rules” • Cultural attitudes (e.g, interest in specific cultures) • Preference levels for 27 types of performances • Appetite for educational content • Price sensitivity • Social context of attendance • Political and religious beliefs • Innate intelligences (Howard Gardner’s model) 8

Creative Trust – Constituent Briefing Analysis Approach: Cluster Analysis • Different combinations of variables were tried • Segments are designed to be as different as possible • Data on Gardiner’s intelligences are intuitive and useful • Very multi-dimensional model • Driven by core values, cultural attitudes, preferences and tastes - NOT driven by demographics or purchase behaviors 9
