Audience Development Today with Purvi Shah
September 13, 2023
- Workshop Slide Deck
- Audience Development
A strategic approach to grow, mature, expand, or spread your spectators, viewers, onlookers, listeners, and/or fans by gaining a deeper understanding of how they complement and enhance your goals and how you satiate their appetite for consumption. If your mission has evolved, your programs and offerings have changed, your audience will have as well. The goal of this workshop was to give you some hands-on tactical learning. To understand your stakeholders, goals, values, and brand voice by mapping out your 'Here'. Marketing and social media will bring in more audience but unless you have mapped out your 'Here' and clarified who you want to hang out with and how you can add value for them, you will fall short.
