Marketing and Audience Outreach

The documentary explores themes of identity, community and belonging, allowing it to appeal to a broad audience beyond Christian communities. The primary aim for promotion is to highlight the documentary's exploration of the needs of young people and the role church can play in providing support and connection.

 

Due to the observational nature of this documentary, ethical and safeguarding considerations mean that social media will not be used as a promotional tool, particularly because of the involvement of children throughout the documentary.

 

Instead, the promotional strategy primarily focuses on word-of-mouth. I plan to network with local churches, Christian festivals and faith-based media organisations including Premier Christian Radio, UCB and TBN, to increase awareness about this documentary.

 

To reach audiences outside Christian communities, I will network with local schools, colleges and universities, through screenings and discussion events. These events aim to encourage questions about young people, identity and community.

Target Audience

Not Just a Building is aimed at young adults aged 16-30, as it explores themes and experiences that directly impact this generation, including mental health and identity. The documentary may particularly resonate with those who are curious about faith or navigating their own personal struggles with loneliness and mental health.

 

This documentary aims to reach an audience outside the church, particularly those interested in wider cultural and social shifts among young people. Through genuine lived experiences and observational moments, this documentary aims to encourage reflection and conversation about the relevance of Christianity for young people today.
