Target Audience
There is a lack of awareness and understanding among the general public about the challenges and struggles faced by children and families with pediatric illness which can lead to stigmatization, isolation, and limited support. First and foremost, we hope to reach other families going through pediatric illness to say, “We see you,” and to highlight the village of support that is available. Each family’s story will further determine the target audience. There will be other buckets of people we are trying to reach through these stories as well, which will largely be determined by the uniqueness of each family’s story based on their diagnosis and the impact they hope to make. These groups will likely include medical professionals and institutions, groups specific to the child’s diagnosis, and possibly even legislative bodies.

Audience
The type of people who will watch the docuseries outside of our specific target audience are those who don’t mind letting a tear fall during a movie about a dog (because they all know when they start it they will get them right in the feels.) They might watch shows like America’s Got Talent because they are empathetic with the highlights shared about authentic, vulnerable stories of participants overcoming immense struggle. They are excited to cheer them on and their eyes well up when the yet-unknown star rocks their performance. These types of people are likely to watch a story about pediatric illness as long as they come to expect a feel-good, fill-you-to-the-brim-with emotion moment that keeps them coming back for more.
This right here is the little corner of the world that we hope to instill with more compassion, kindness, and a greater sense of connectedness to each other.

Reach & Partners
We are in a growth phase, building our audience on Instagram (currently 424 followers) and Facebook (929 followers). Our podcast reached #3 in the charts for Apple Podcasts in the US for Visual Arts when it launched. To give an idea of our potential reach for the docuseries, here are numbers for our committed partners that have agreed to share our content through Instagram (IG) &/or Facebook (FB):
Give Kids The World Village: IG 51.9k + 208k followers
Entertainment 2 Affect Change: IG 895 + FB 922 followers + streaming app
Dream Factory HQ: 601 IG + 3k FB followers
A Special Wish Dayton: 863 IG + 5.6k FB followers

Each docuseries episode and podcast will also be shared by the participating families, many of whom have active followers. For example, the Jones family has 2.5k followers on the “Super Sammy’s Heart Journey” page and whenever they have an important update their local news stations ask to do a follow-up story.
