They will use their own methods to create awareness of Bitcoin among those around them. But in rural areas, maybe they need to use more methods because people may not pay much attention to Bitcoin. But that's where the challenge lies, how to open their mind to accept new things about Bitcoin.
If someone can access the internet easily, he will see many advertisements about Bitcoin or crypto. But he needs to find out more information first to start investing. And he would find more information if he could use the internet well.
With the information he can get, he can know when to start investing. He can know what the risks are in investing in Bitcoin. The dissemination of information about Bitcoin is now better because it is supported by the internet.

Reading this post https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.64064950 makes me wanna know what other means top players in the crypto industry are doing to create more awareness for bitcoin in rural area cos i feel that's were the population and investment come from to accelerate adoption but imho it may difficult for them to understand how the digital gold operates but the push is necessary.
I am more of the opinion that bitcoin adoption should be allowed to gain organic adoption just like Satoshi stated in the white paper that the network should allow to grow and adopt to the environment organically, so if you ask I will say bitcoin adoption shouldn't be something that need preaching of gospel about and shouldn't be championed by a particular group of people call early adopters like us but should be hard and search about by those who have personal understanding and motivation towards bitcoin.Bitcoin faces legal battle in many countries, because government sees it as an opposition instead of the alternative that it is and are bent on frustrating it adopters, that also limits the level of bitcoin adoption too.
Just do what you normally do and talk about it once in a while with your co-workers, that's about all there is to it, bitcoin spreads like wildfire when you pass it through a word of mouth, if you have the means, you can probably get yourself into managing or setting up an information drive that talks about bitcoin and it's utility, that's one of the best ways to make sure that you can get a lot of people to talk about bitcoin and learn more about it, or you can go the hard, risk and arrogant way, flaunting your wealth and when someone asks what's the secret, you just tell them about bitcoin, that way you will have a guaranteed listener that will surely try to invest in bitcoin but you have to remember that when this happens, you're going to be responsible for that person at least that's what they think and you don't want them to be blaming you when they experience their first price dump which is the risky part that I've pointed out.
We? not for me, I care with my privacy.
You can increase the awareness for Bitcoin adoption by:
1. Wear anything e.g. cloth, pants, hat, bag, shoes that have Bitcoin logo.
2. Create seminars without any fees to entry.
3. Use Bitcoin logo in all of your social medias and keep mentioning Bitcoin anywhere.
4. Draw Bitcoin logo on your house.
I'm sure whenever someone meet you, they will know you're a Bitcoin boy, which will make people aware with Bitcoin.

If I can successfully convince one person to invest in Bitcoin and then you on your part can successfully convince another person and then those people, we convince go ahead to convince others before we know everyone around us must have heard about Bitcoins. There is limitation to talking to people about Bitcoin which is that in some countries it is very illegal, and you can put it yourself in a direct risk to even be discussing about bitcoin due to laws and policies. Before you try to create awareness about Bitcoin make sure you know the legal implications and existing policies.
We don't actually need to do all that to help increase the awareness of Bitcoin. Sincerely, it would be easier to convince someone into investing in Bitcoin, especially those who has never heard of it before but has been looking for a way to make good profits online. Ones such persons are introduced into Bitcoin, with the idea that they can make so much profit, they won't wanna waste their time in doing any further research and rush into investing. When the market suddenly experience a dip, they start pointing fingers.
This is the reason why we shouldn't convince anyone to invest but let them make their own decisions. We only have to spread the word in any means possible if we can. But don't try to force or convince anyone into investing.
Do you see how contradicting that is? They do not have access to the internet what use would they have of bitcoin then? They won’t even get to use it as a currency. How would they even buy it in the first place?
Internet is very basic in modern societies but there are people who live in remote areas and with low socioeconomic status don't have access or barely have access to Internet.However if they want to learn, Internet is a powerful tool to help them. With modern technology, if they want to learn about it, no other better way than learning from free available resources from Internet.
I agree that people must have Internet to buy Bitcoin, use it even they can learn it offline with paper, books, handouts.

Do people still use those traditional media platforms? Probably those who do will not care about bitcoin at all.
Each market cycle, each halving, Bitcoin is mentioned a lot on traditional media platforms. It's perfect time for people to learn about Bitcoin after hearing about it for a first time. It's certainly that some or many of them will ignore what they heard and will not care about Bitcoin. 
Yes noted, the fastest way to spread information or create awareness is through social media. Once it's posted, it goes viral and this can help too in the case of bitcoin but then there should be ways to reach out to those who are in remote villages, those without any digital asset or who can't access the internet.

In my opinion, I will suggest we speak or teach anywhere we find ourselves and to anyone who cares to learn, the use of local radio, flyers, newspaper etc.

To be honest I think in today’s time, the most effective way to spread awareness is through the use of social media. Even if you do not intend for them to see it, they will see it as long as you post it online. The internet has come such a long way to the point of connecting a lot of us from different parts of the world has become such an easy feat.
There are multiple social media platforms we can use to spread awareness about bitcoin and it won’t even be hard to do so. The only challenge we’ll encounter is people having misconceptions about bitcoin and never accepting any kind of reasoning.

This can only be carried out with joint efforts as a team, it is not a one man journey so we all can help out in any way we can to make this a success.
I fell like the problem is not awareness because at this point the majority of people should have heard about bitcoin, is difficult to think that someone really never heard about it.
The problem is still awareness or rather awareness is still part of the problem.
There are still people who have not heard about bitcoins, no matter how unimaginable it may sound. In addition to the people who have never heard about it at all, there are people who have heard about Bitcoins but they have the wrong information about it and speaking to them about it all, trying to create awareness about Bitcoin may just correct that wrong information that they have.

I fell like the problem is not awareness because at this point the majority of people should have heard about bitcoin, is difficult to think that someone really never heard about it. What is more complicate for many people is actually accessing bitcoin because you need to be a little tech savvy, maybe even more than a little, and be able to properly store your funds. At the same time you must avoid scams. I mean, I get why many people are kind of scared of bitcoin, we're talking about something that when it's gone, it's gone, you'll never get it back if you make a mistake.

We do not need to do anything, I realized about the existence of bitcoin on my own and I am sure there are many people just like me out there, and with how popular bitcoin has gotten over the years, not it is way easier to find information about bitcoin than on the past, so anyone that has any passing interest about what bitcoin can do is someone that already knows about its existence already, the rest are people that would probably not adopt bitcoin until the majority of the world has done it anyway.We have to understand that no matter how we try, they are still so many people that won't be part of it. From the example you shared about yourself, I will assume that you are a digital literate, meaning you know how to use the internet, also know how to read on your own and probably carry your own personal research. But you and I know very well that not everyone can do this due to several reasons (most especially the inability to read and write). We also both know that Bitcoin is not something that anyone can jump into, which proves that there is a need of learning it's concepts.
As popular as mobile devices, it would be very shocking to also know that not everyone still have access to it. There are several things that are available around us, but are uncommon to others due to high level of poverty and other factors. Adoption of Bitcoin would definitely spread wide, but I don't think everyone (over 8.5billion people) would hear about it or even key into it. Just my opinion.
Personally I don't think bitcoin needs any more awareness to be created whether in the rural areas or urban areas, bitcoin does not need advertisement anymore as it has already made its way out to an extent.
As time goes on even without people advertising or creating awareness through any of the known means bitcoin will keep prevailing as it is the father of all other cryptocurrencies that are busy shaking the internet for fame as they keep struggling so bitcoin is reaching the remote areas too. Infact in technological advancement it takes just some years before the world advances into it. So I believe in a few times/years coming bitcoin knowledge will reach every part of the world. Note; knowledge spreads so bitcoin knowledge will also spread.

Individual efforts may seem not to amount to much, but it actually will amount to much if everyone is committed to it. If I can successfully convince one person to invest in Bitcoin and then you on your part can successfully convince another person and then those people, we convince go ahead to convince others before we know everyone around us must have heard about Bitcoins.

In rural areas, that's true. Many of these areas are not updated with the modern technology that we're having so expect that they have never heard BTC.
IMO, there's no need for you to do something with that. But if you're persistent with that then try to start talking with the people in that neighborhood and just try to ask them if they have heard BTC or not yet.
With small talks, you're giving them the idea and background of what BTC is and also, you're also having some good talks with the locals there.

there are still people who are online every day but are not aware of Bitcoin still. they just stay on social media but are not subscribed to some friends who are aware of BTC. there are local forums in my country where i share some Bitcoin memes and updates, but only a handful of users keep talking about Bitcoin.
although we are happy discussing what we earn from the price increase, a few who accidentally click the thread are just there to say hi. rural areas might just be the last especially if an internet connection isn't accessible.
Bitcoin might probably reach a point where everyone gets aware with it even in rural areas. And this social media would be very helpful to that. But that will only happen if rural areas will also have an access to internet, thus having a consistent internet connection is crucial. If it won’t happen, then I should say that bitcoin promotion might not be possible with people living far from the city. although we are happy discussing what we earn from the price increase, a few who accidentally click the thread are just there to say hi. rural areas might just be the last especially if an internet connection isn't accessible.

Yeah and that's why having offline awareness programme could be helpful. Tho, imminent resut may not seen but gradually we could start seeing the impact
