Persona Intelligence Explained

Persona Analysis

Persona Intelligence is the study and analysis of a persona. The detailed, semi-fictional representation of your ideal customer or end-user. It’s not a real person, but a composite archetype built from real market research and data about your existing customers or desired audience. Think of it as a character profile for a key member of your target audience.

Persona Intelligence refers to the use of data, analytics, and often artificial intelligence to create detailed, dynamic profiles of individuals or groups based on their behaviors, preferences, and interactions. It’s commonly used in marketing, customer experience, and product development to tailor strategies or services. 

For example, persona intelligence might involve analyzing social media activity, purchase history, or online browsing patterns to build a “persona” that predicts how someone might respond to specific campaigns or products.
