Who is the Mapping Your Publics poster for?

When should you use the Mapping Your Publics poster?
At the start of any campaign, before deciding who hears what. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Mapping Your Publics belongs on the wall where that humanities work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

What size does the Mapping Your Publics poster print at?
Mapping Your Publics is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download.
