About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of complete buyer personas in growth marketing strategies and how incomplete personas can lead to underperformance in marketing efforts.

Buyer personas are one of the core inputs into your growth marketing strategy — shaping your customer acquisition, creative, campaigns, and customer experience. But for many brands, those personas are incomplete. And when your buyer personas are incomplete, everything built on top of them underperforms — from your marketing campaigns to your conversion rates. If your marketing isn’t performing at the level it should — the issue may not be your channels or your tactics. It may be your personas.
