How do you prioritize your Public Relations audiences?

Be guided by your PR objectives. I prioritize my PR audience based on the particular PR objectives. I use the stakeholder mapping approach to map out all stakeholders key to my organization. Now, depending on the message and the intended purpose, I select the stakeholder and work towards achieving the set PR objectives

PR audiences are generally segmented by interest area, topic, alignment with PR audience, and message that is being conveyed by the news 🗞️ being shared.

Unique Value Proposition: Craft an event with a distinctive theme, exclusive content, or valuable insights that align with their interests.

It's not up to the PR practioner to identify a target audience, it's an agreement between the agency and the client. Reach existing customers or stake holders, or reach new customers and markets? Then create the PR program to accomplish the goals set.

overnment and Regulatory Bodies: Stay informed about relevant policies and regulations that can impact your business. Engage with government officials and regulatory agencies to address concerns and contribute to policy discussions.
