What is Audience Marketing?

Audience marketing is an intentional alignment of your marketing messages, content and focus to the needs of your audience.

An audience first marketing approach shifts the focus from YOU to THEM. This means you focus more on how you can SERVE your audience over how you can SELL to them.

What is an Audience First Marketing Strategy?

An audience first marketing strategy is when you prioritize your audience as the #1 priority when developing marketing strategies, tactics and detailed plans for execution! This means nothing comes before your audience. Your audience is first in everything you create, publish and execution.

What is a Buyer Persona?

A buyer persona is a semi-fictional, generalized representation of your ideal customer based upon market research and real data.

Buyer personas help you understand your audience and ensure your marketing messages are helping you earn trust, build relationships and become relevant in the mind and heart of your ideal customer.

Many marketers think buyer personas are complicated or that taking the time to create them will slow them down.

The truth is buyer personas are simple to create and will help increase your marketing results exponentially, almost immediately!
