Getting to know your audience
An audience-centric approach is key to Defence's orchestration of military activities, and understanding audiences is a major part of this. Audiences can include individuals and groups, those who may be friendly, impartial or adversarial, both in peace time or conflict. Audience analysis can support Defence planning by helping identify potential audiences of interest, providing a detailed understanding of audiences that are known to be of interest, and/or providing insights into factors that affect the understanding of specific audiences (e.g. cultural factors or unique audiences). These factors will help defence plan better by being able to respond to/learn from audiences in an effective and bespoke way.
