01 CONCEPT
What will your station
become?
Task: Personas
By asking ourselves these kinds of
questions we can start to build up a
profile of who that IDEAL listener
would be - personas are used widely in
many marketing and branding
exercises.
IDENTIFICATION
What is their name?
Gender?
Age?
PERSONALITY
Are they introverted or extroverted?
What car do they drive?
Where do they hang out?
LISTENING HABITS
What time do they listen to the radio?
How do they tune in?
What other stations might they listen to?
What spotify playlists do they listen to?
