Abstract
Having an audience strategy--that is, techniques for analyzing your various audiences and gearing your communications towards their needs and interests--is essential to successful communication. A well-crafted memo is useless if the recipient only responds to e-mail or voicemail. And an audience of senior managers can get turned off by a funding request weighed down with technical jargon. By asking yourself four questions about the people you need to address--who are they, what do they know, what do they feel, and what motivates them--your communications stand a much better chance of getting through to the right people in the right way.
