VAMK Brand Personas

Brand personas are crucial for understanding the target audience and planning marketing, providing guidelines for content creation and product development. They can also be utilised in community building and brand personalisation, creating a human and approachable image of the organisation. By using brand personas to support their work, an organisation can better understand and serve their target audience, as well as build stronger and more sustainable relationships with customers and stakeholders.

Understanding the Target Audience:

Brand personas help to visualise what kind of people our target audience represents and what interests them. This aids in designing targeted marketing and communication strategies.

Guiding Content Production:

Brand personas provide guidelines for content creation and marketing communication. Knowing what topics and approaches resonate with the target audience represented by the brand persona allows for the creation of relevant and engaging content.

Product and Service Development:

Using brand personas helps in better understanding customers’ needs and expectations. This information can be leveraged in product and service development to create solutions that meet the needs and interests of the target audience.

Brand Personalisation:

Brand personas help the brand gain a human and personal dimension, making it more attractive and approachable to the target audience.
