Content marketing is one of the most effective marketing tools available today. Because of multiple benefits of content marketing, more and more businesses are adopting content marketing as their main marketing weapon to tackle competition and hack growth.
Like any other type of marketing, content marketing also requires building a buyer persona so as to boost the effectiveness of content marketing campaigns.
What is buyer persona?
According to HubSpot,
“Buyer personas (sometimes referred to as marketing personas) are fictional, generalized representations of your ideal customers. Personas help us all — in marketing, sales, product, and services — internalize the ideal customer we’re trying to attract, and relate to our customers as real humans.”
Without having a defined buyer persona, your content marketing campaigns will be like shooting in the dark and expecting to hit targets.
So, my friend, it is imperative that you need to create a marketing persona or buyer persona first to maximize success.
