How to Reach Your Target Audience and Build Effective Personas

Identifying your target audience, creating a strategy to reach them, and building accurate buyer personas are critical to your business. Without knowing your audience, your organization cannot achieve its mission or goals. We perform the research necessary to locate your audience and create a plan for outreach and engagement.

68% of B2B buyers selected a vendor because they "demonstrated stronger knowledge of our company and needs" than competitors.

62% chose their vendor because they were provided higher quality content.

Target Audience Identification Services that Position You for Success

Every business, organization or government agency can be successful and fulfill their mission. But not everyone is positioned for success. We help by creating a winning strategy, identifying the technology that solves problems and meets your needs, and creating the right kinds of engagements.

Strategic Planning

When you need to reach your target audience, you need to have a strategic plan. We work with your team to either help build a strategic plan or work with you to ensure your existing plan is sound and meets your needs. Strategic planning is a critical first step in identifying your target audience.

Defining Goals

Every campaign or initiative needs a set of defined, measurable goals. People need to know what success will look like as the campaign progresses and whether or not you have achieved what you set out to do. We help organizations set reasonable goals and stretch goals.

Build Target Audience

A target audience is a group of people who have the job titles and functional roles, education, challenges, and goals that best align to the products and/or services that you provide. We help to reach the people who need you, and have a part to play in the decision-making and purchasing processes.

Buyer Persona

A buyer persona is a fictional representation of someone in your target audience. We build personas, because they often help to better understand a specific person's interests, needs, and pain points. Personas help you get into the mind of a particular buyer, and better target your messaging.

Messaging

Audience messaging needs to be accurate, otherwise you will turn-away prospective customers. We work closely with our clients, conduct detailed research, and build out a messaging framework and assets that help you better connect with your customer base.

Campaign Development

Once the research is done, the audience has been identified, goals set, personas built and messaging completed, the final step is to build a campaign. We help our customers create engaging campaigns that generate leads and qualified opportunities for your business.
