Key Audience Insights
Co-Creators want to have an active voice in your mission and narrative. How can you create opportunities for them to speak up?
Distribution Channels are those who are eager to amplify and engage their own networks. What can you design to help them engage others?
Self-identifiers are those who will share your content when it speaks to who THEY are, not just who YOU are. What will they share?
Strategies For Building a Social Culture1. STORYTELLING. Rather than broadcasting
messages, use your voice and platform to tell the authentic stories of those who are doing the work, or are beneficiaries of your work. This builds trust, earns attention, validates partners, and shares knowledge with field.
2. ASK QUESTIONS. Invite audiences to think, feel, reflect in the directions you want to encourage. Use questions to create a platform to evoke emotion, invite engagement, build connections and deepen relationships.
3. BUILD THE NETWORK. Use your communications to inform and connect the people and organizations in order to build the field. The more shared ownership, the stronger the ‘movement’.
4. SHAREABLE CONTENT. Create shareable assets that others can adapt, share, integrate into their own work to support the work and amplify your perspective.
