Begin relationship analyzing as you plan your communications program.
Take a good look at your audience segments, and developing profiles to detail their participation in different communities.

Build an Audience Profile as a helpful resource to identify the needs of each audience segment, to pinpoint exactly where they are congregating, to distinguish what issues/topics interest them, and to allow you to discover the best ways to communicate directly.
Ask the Audience Profile questions, such as: What are the benefits/opportunities of interacting with this group? What is it exactly do you want from this group? Are you looking for a specific type of engagement, whether it’s learning about your industry thought leadership or you would like to have some type of mutual reciprocation?
