How to work out who you want to reach 

Think about who you’re trying to communicate with. Is it the people who’ll come to your event? Or is it others who’ll tell those people about your event and maybe bring them to it? 

For example, family members might be interested in activities for their older or younger relatives. 

Work out who has a need for your event and who’s most likely to come.

Think about: 

• Age  

• Location 

• Gender 

• Income 

• Education  

• Marital or family status 

• Job 

• Ethnic background 

Also think about their personal characteristics: 

• Personality 

• Attitudes 

• Values 

• Interests and hobbies 

• Lifestyles 

• Behaviour 

Your audience won’t always live in the community where your event will be held. 

You’ll have already learnt a lot about your potential audience if you talked to the community about your event idea.
