Attract more visitors
with less staff burnout
A Strategic Partnership designed to help you implement a simple, repeatable, proven plan tailored to your museum.
Your museum deserves to thrive.
With my background working with some of the most renowned and well-loved museums in Washington, D.C. for more than 30 years, I know how to combine messaging, visitor experience, and media relations to attract more visitors who will fall in love with your museum.
The good news? You don't have to figure this out alone.
With my proven 3-phase plan, you'll go from burnt out and frustrated to encouraged and energized.
It's time to create a museum where visitors come often and happy staff stays.
There are three strategic partnerships available.
Three ways to work together.
All based on the Love my Museum method.
All with proven, measurable success rates.
Tier 1: Residency
I work with your team for six months to recalibrate both internal and external communications systems.
Tier 2: Advisory
I work one-on-one with a lead contact for three months, teaching them the strategies they need to execute a winning 90-day plan based on their goals.
Museum Digital Assessment
This is a focused, one-month deep dive into your digital presence. You’ll walk away with an audit and a checklist to immediately improve how you connect with visitors online.
Set your museum up for long-term success
“One of Tephra ICA's core values is to 'lead with curiosity and care.' Amy embodies both of those principles by taking the time and consideration to truly learn who the organization is and going the extra mile to make sure we were set up for success not only while working with her, but also as we move into the future.”
—Jaynelle Hazard, Director, TEPHRA ICA
“Working with Amy definitely helped us level up our strategies, plans, and approaches surrounding communications from and with our museum. We were able to strengthen the impact and increase the consistency of our communications from social media engagement to media outreach.”
—Carrie Christoffersen, Director, Loudoun Museum

No. I’m here to guide you and share my museum experience and communications expertise.
I’m not replacing any of your staff. I’m here to work alongside you to help you set up new ways of working that feel like you and help you fall back in love with your museum. If you’re looking for hands-on implementation support, reach out via email to check availability. -
There aren't many people like me who work only with museums. I don't think there is anyone like me doing this type of work with museums. (Trust me, I've googled it! If you do know of someone please let me know, I'd love to say hi to them!)
Most public relations consultants are public relations consultants first and work with museums second. I worked in a museum first, and museums are my true love.
Other consultants come in, work on a project, and leave. My goal is to leave your museum better than I found it so you can increase visitor numbers, secure funding, and enjoy your work. -
Yes, we can continue Phase 3 as long as you’d like.
