National Corvette Museum

National Corvette Museum

The National Corvette Museum opened in 1994 as an educational tribute to America’s sports car. The Museum is located in Bowling Green, Kentucky, known worldwide as the home of the Corvette. Every Corvette in the world since 1981 is assembled at the General Motors Bowling Green Assembly Plant located just ¼ mile from the National Corvette Museum.

The museum itself recently underwent an RFP process for an agency of record that could accomplish multiple goals:

  • Revitalize the National Corvette Museum brand with potential visitors
  • Increase visits to the museum by 10% over current benchmarks

The National Corvette Museum and Advance Travel & Tourism partnered together to begin a campaign that was heavy on awareness to attract more potential visitors as well as engagement and planning tactics to increase ticket sales and conversions on site. As the museum is undergoing a bit of a redesign, both in their offerings and strategically, a “market by exhibit” approach was taken to highlight new exhibits coming to the museum that would be of interest to a fresh NCM audience.

The audiences we primarily targeted were families with children and Corvette owners or general car enthusiasts.

It has been a pleasure and an honor to partner with a brand as iconic as the National Corvette Museum. They have a team that truly understands tourism marketing as well as how to leverage the incredible assets that they have on-site. My favorite thing about working with the National Corvette Museum team is that they know the Corvette is so much more than just a car, it’s an American legend with a rich story to tell to audiences across generations.
