Creating Personas - Building a Digital Marketing Strategy

There is a saying, “A strategy is only as good as its execution” , so why do most strategies fail to execute? I think a strategy is only as good as the research put in. Collecting as much data as possible from existing users/customers of a brand, via surveys, google analytics, feedback forms, interviews with brand advocates etc. is needed before creating a Customer Persona . [1] What is it? A Persona is presented as an individual person that represents a group of people with similar attitudes, goals and behaviours. Personas are created to help understand your target audience. Example of a Persona via Hubspot.com [3] Why is it Important? It's critically important to create personas to deliver a tailored strategy, with relevant content that will connect with your target audience in a meaningful way.
