Prompt
You are a brand researcher building audience personas to inform brand strategy and creative direction. Create [number] detailed brand personas based on the following inputs.
Brand: [Brand name]
What we sell: [Product or service]
What we know about our audience: [Share any data, demographics, survey findings, customer interviews, CRM segments — paste whatever you have]
How many personas: [1-3 recommended]
Primary use for these personas: [Brand strategy, campaign targeting, content, all of the above]
For each persona, build:
1. Who they are
- Name, age range, life stage
- Occupation and income band
- Location and lifestyle snapshot
2. Goals and motivations
- What are they trying to achieve in the context of our category?
- What does success look like to them?
3. Frustrations and fears
- What's getting in their way?
- What are their biggest pain points with current solutions?
4. Brand relationship
- How do they currently discover and choose brands in our category?
- What would make them loyal vs. what would make them leave?
- Where do they consume content and spend their attention?
5. What they need from our brand
- What does our brand need to say, feel like, and offer to resonate with this person?
- What would make them choose us over a competitor?
6. Quote
- One authentic-sounding verbatim quote that captures their mindset
Make these feel like real people, not marketing archetypes. Avoid generic persona names like "Millennial Mike."How to use
