3 AHA moments
1) How well do you understand your audience? Are you clear what you want people to do? Using the empathy map captures what you know but flags what you don’t!
2) The ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ sexual health research published by Dan Ariely in Predictably Irrational is a great example of demonstrating how our understanding of are audiences can completely change when and how we communicate.
3) A clear behaviour change goal is essential. (or value proposition!) Use the map to find yours.
Happy mapping and thank you Jude!
