# Audience

The **Audience** section is where you manage who you communicate with in Mapp Engage: your contacts, the data that describes them, how they are organized, and how they are targeted.

Audience is built from contacts, organized through groups, and activated through sendouts. For how these pieces fit together, see [Audience Model in Mapp Engage](/v1/docs/audience-model-in-mapp-engage).

In this section, you will find dedicated documentation for each part of audience management, from creating and maintaining contacts to building segments for your campaigns.
