Audience Development

Understand your audience—and reach them more effectively.

Define Your Audience

Rely on data-driven methods to define your target audience and who you could be serving. We help local newsrooms answer questions like:


  • How big is the potential market?
    Quantify the size of the reachable audience and identify realistic growth opportunities.


  • Who should my target audience be?
    Define priority groups based on mission alignment, need, likelihood to engage, and long-term value.
     
  • Where are they located?
    Map audiences geographically to uncover community-level opportunities, gaps in reach, and areas for expansion.

Understand Your Audience

We use data-driven research to give you a clear understanding of your audience and how they engage with news. Our approach uncovers your audience’s background, interests, and news consumption habits, including:


  • Socioeconomic characteristics
  • Key demographics
  • Preferred media sources, platforms, and devices
  • Motivations for following the news
  • The types of stories and content they value most

Reach Your Audience

We turn data into actionable strategies to reach your target audience. Using demographic, interest, media habit, and behavioral insights, we develop detailed audience profiles paired with practical targeting recommendations.


Audience profiles go beyond surface-level demographics to reveal what motivates your audience, what they’re looking for, and what barriers may prevent them from taking action. This deeper understanding helps you shape content, product, and distribution strategies with the greatest impact.
