FINALLY someone who gives a concrete and full example! Every other video or article I watched just talked about principles and theory, but never showed how to really apply them. Thanks, such a game-changing video!

Unbelievable. I paid for an online Business Branding course and got stuck at the brand positioning part. I was looking for a better explanation for the Audience Persona and I found it. You did a great job explaining it! Better than my instructor.

Showing sample of Quantitative and Qualitative data collected and Persona Groups would really help greatly. That's needed to creating User Persona which is explained well.

Nice but... I will always add the photo at last., for me a face (and a name) add so much power to a persona that it will already create bias in terms of their personality, I will highly recommend to start by the their needs, frustrations and goals.
