Contact strategy

How to reach your target audience

You have discovered who is engaging with you. Now reach out to them. This table shows the best approach for each type of person - which platforms to use, what contact info you need, and which tools can help you find it.

Different people are best reached in different ways. An investor responds to a well-crafted email. A creator is more likely to engage on Instagram DM. A journalist wants to see that you have done your homework.

The table below is a practical starting point - not a rigid rulebook. The tools listed are popular options, not the only ones. Use whatever works for you.
