Fascinate-U Children’s Museum of Fayetteville
As MSMA’s first client, Fascinate-U Children’s Museum partnered with the Agency on research designed to inform future exhibits and programming.

The partnership has continued through ongoing social media support and the development of promotional materials for museum events, giving students opportunities to contribute to the organization’s marketing needs over time.
| “We couldn’t be more pleased with the work the Monarch Student Marketing Agency completed for Fascinate-U! Their survey helped us identify what spaces our guests would like to see updated or enhanced, along with ideas for future exhibitions. I’m proud to say that in the past year we have used that information to complete several projects including our newest interactive exhibition that allows children to color an aircraft and see it come to life on screen.”
