Stop Guessing Who Your Buyers Are

The Challenge

Most personas sit in a deck and collect dust. Guesswork leads to off target messaging, wasted budget, and leaky funnels.

What You Get

  • Clarity

    Evidence based ideal customer profiles and buyer personas with jobs to be done and objections you can actually counter.

  • Focus

    Journey maps that show what buyers need at each step and which channels and content work best.

  • Control

    Messaging and content starters your team can plug into ads, emails, and pages right away.

Why It Converts

We combine qualitative interviews with quantitative signals, so your plan reflects how buyers decide, not how we wish they did.

How it works

  1. 1

    Run a right sized survey to validate patterns for needs, channels, and price sensitivity, then layer in search trends and conversion data.

  4. 4

Mini Case Study

How a DTC apparel brand clarified who buys and why to unlock growth.

Clarify Who Buys & Why

Problem

Broad targeting and generic creative stalled growth for a $20M ARR apparel brand with four core lines, driving rising CPA and flat repeat rate.

Intervention

  • Signals sweep: survey (N≈1,200), UGC/review mining, and support‑tag analysis to surface three primary JTBD personas (Everyday Comfort, Performance Hybrid, Gift‑Giver).
  • Persona Packs: motivations, barriers, triggers, and claims for each persona, plus a word bank and image style guidelines.
  • Message/Creative Matrix: headlines, hooks, offers, and objections mapped to personas; PDP copy and hero re‑writes; creator briefs aligned to each persona.
  • Channel rollout: persona‑segmented ad sets, onsite quiz feeding list segments, and lifecycle email flows built per persona.

Outcome (8–10 weeks)

  • +31% paid social ROAS.
  • –23% blended CPA.
  • +18% PDP conversion rate.
  • +12% 60‑day repeat rate.
Clarify Who Buys & Why

This case shows how research‑backed personas, mapped directly into creative and channels, can lift ROAS, lower CPA, and improve repeat without random testing sprees.
