Defining, segmenting, prioritising and researching your key audiences will help you reach the right people with the right messages – inspiring them to make a difference and helping you to achieve your organisation’s mission.
There are many ways to define your audiences, for example by attitude, behaviour, geo-demographic, past engagement and so on. So where should your organisation begin and how can you get a clear view of who your best prospects are to ensure you limit waste and increase efficiency?
This conference was packed with inspiring case studies that showed many different ways to define, research, segment and prioritise your key audiences and ultimately how you can make an audience-centred approach part of your organisation’s long-term strategy for growth.
This event was sponsored by The Good Agency.
