The word “adventure” is defined as an unusual or exciting experience. “We Followers of Christ have not chosen the adventure of serving and obeying Christ. Jesus Christ Himself has chosen the adventure for us”. Oluwole Adegbile, Age 36

“Going on an adventure is exciting… It may mean being spontaneous” Sung Ah Kim, Age 22

“An adventure is like a get away, a time to test and face your fears, a challenge. Or a time of bonding that you don't usually have with others.” Antoine Shawn Tanyhill, Age 31

“Adventure is the seedling of growth.” James Blake Jr. , Age 28

“To go where no soccer mom has gone before” Amy Brady, Age 47

Audience Analysis for Social Media

Secondary Research -

A revolutionary shift in communications is taking place, and nowhere is this more evident than in the use of media by young Americans. Vblogs, blogs, text messages, instant messaging, chat rooms, cell phones, peer-to-peer file sharing (including viral videos), social websites, podcasting, networked gaming - all of these are now used to tie individuals and groups together with others, with activities, and with ideas.
