Audience Feedback

“As soon as I saw the photo wall at the ROM I knew I needed to get my tweet up there. It gave me a chance to share my experience and made me feel like a star. Dedicating that space to visitors' comments let me know the ROM truly valued how we were enjoying ourselves, and fostered our habit of tweeting and sharing information about the event.” Emma, visitor
