+What is outrageous outreach?
the process of communicating science in an environment where individuals are most open to receive information because this medium is frequented by the targeted group by choice and out of pleasure, and not as a result of a call for action from the science communicator.
information takes familiar forms
the message is integrated naturally and placed in a context
communication is done in a language that the target understands.

+Step 1. Know your target group
![Page 29: Cap2011 public](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081403/55505907b4c905c0448b4bd0/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
+Information sources…
Research studies
Focus groups
Public studies from NGO’s, governments, mass media
Social media
Profiles of magazines readers
Latest trends, gadgets, aps etc.
…give you insights!
![Page 30: Cap2011 public](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081403/55505907b4c905c0448b4bd0/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
+Insights…
Where does your audience spend their free time?
What are their concerns?
What makes them laugh?
Where do they meet their friends?
What gadgets do they use?
How often do they travel?
…give you the ideas!

+Step 2. Find the right channel
![Page 32: Cap2011 public](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081403/55505907b4c905c0448b4bd0/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
+ The right channel is the one used by your target group and not the one you use or the one you think they should use.
Your target group
You

+Bigger is not better.
The Daily Telegraph is Britain's biggest-selling quality daily newspaper, but readers between 15 and 24 are only 5% of total readership*, while most readers are 45+ which makes it an inefficient channel if you target adolescents.
Top 10 magazines for teenagers include: Cheerleader, Girls’ Life Magazine, Seventeen, TeenVogue etc. (allyoucanread.com)

How many of your outreach products addressed to young people were featured in these magazines?

+Step 3. Choose the best approach
![Page 35: Cap2011 public](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081403/55505907b4c905c0448b4bd0/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
+Learn a new “language” every time you start an outreach initiative
Tone: cheeky, bold, ironic, parental, polite, informal, friendly
Vocabulary: jargon, colloquialism
Style: neutral, story plot
Length: tweet, slogan, blog post, script
Symbols, images and characters: # D @ RT 4u
![Page 36: Cap2011 public](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081403/55505907b4c905c0448b4bd0/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
+Write AIDA messages
Attention — choose the right language to be understood
Interest — focus on your audience’s areas of interest
Desire — offer desirable benefits
Action — make it easy for your audience to act

We have a communication environment that has placed the individual at its centre, changing our flows of information.
We have highly demanding and hard to impress audiences.
We have serious competition from other areas like entertainment
