About the content of the episode

A brand personality is a set of characteristics that a company's main target audience values and how they want their brand to be perceived. It consists of ways of acting, appearance and, through these, is also reflected in the brand's "behaviour", for example, in its actions and participation in social debate. A company's brand personality can be reflected on by asking, for example, "If the brand were a person, what would it be like?"

A brand personality is made up of five important elements, which, if well managed, will help you build a persona that your target audience will fall in love with.
