What's an
Audience
Persona,
You Ask?

Audience personas are generalized representations of target audience segments in the form of a fictionalized person. They’re based on research, data, and insights to help us understand our audience’s needs, preferences, behaviors, and goals. That makes it easier to tailor marketing strategies and messaging just for them.
