The Four Personas in Brand Strategy

In this podcast episode, the host discusses the four personas that tend to come to the agency for brand strategy. The first persona is the 'blank canvas,' where clients have a business idea but no other elements. The second persona is the 'Jekyll and Hyde,' where a brand has brought them success but is now holding them back. The third persona is the 'Frankenstein,' which is when multiple design elements have been pieced together without cohesiveness. The final persona is the 'tune-up,' which refers to a brand needing a refresh to stay current. The host emphasizes the importance of understanding where clients are at in their branding journey to ensure effective strategy.
