Using Buyer Personas to Unlock Scale

Despite the trend towards broad audience targeting on platforms like Meta and TikTok, our audits reveal a critical oversight: most advertisers aren't using buyer personas. This gap is leaving potential customers untapped.

The solution? Implement buyer personas in your ad strategy:

  1. Identify 5 buyer personas from your customer data.

  2. Develop tailored ad copy for each persona.

  3. Launch and measure results.

We tested this approach with a client in the baby products space. We created "Jessica, 31 – the Budget-conscious Mom," who seeks sales, compares prices, and buys in bulk. We crafted persona-specific ad copy and paired it with top-performing video creative on Meta Ads.

The results? Our new persona-driven ad gained traction alongside existing high-performers, unlocking a new level of campaign scale. This success demonstrates the power of speaking directly to specific customer segments, even within broad targeting strategies.
