Ideal Customers

Who needs what you are offering?

How can you reach your ideal customers? What journey are they on?

Within your target segments, develop detailed customer personas. A persona is a fictional representation of your ideal customer, based on the data and insights you've gathered. It typically includes information about their demographics, background, motivations, needs, and behaviors. Personas can help make the data more tangible and relatable, and can guide decision-making across the business.
