In this blog we will dig deep into importance of creating a persona for your brand. Personas are archetypical users whose goals, buying habits and characteristics represent your target group. Creating personas are important for defining audience, designing your product and planning the PR process. Product team will answer “Who are we designing for?” by looking at the persona; understanding their expectations, concerns, and motivations will satisfy users’ needs and therefore be successful.
