caius@gearboxexp.com | gearboxexp.com | @gearboxexp Copyright © Gearbox Experiential, 2019
Who are you marketing to?

Who are you creating content for?

Is your website generating the desired traffic?

Are your leads qualified or an annoyance?

What is your conversion rate?

A persona is a
composite character
sketch representing a
segment of a target
audience
Personas help you understand the
person that’s interacting with your
website, call centre, ticket office,
social media channel…

“A major virtue of personas is the establishment of empathy and
understanding the individual who uses the product.”

Segments. Cohorts. Personas.
