How to Create AI Marketing Personas with 8 Powerful Prompts on the Orbit Media blog may be one of the most thought-provoking articles you read this week. It certainly gave me a few ideas. What it outlines is a technique to use new online tools to create an artificial ‘persona’ representing a customer type, which can then be interrogated to examine and develop our marketing strategies and materials.

Ask it what it doesn’t like about buying these services. Ask it what questions it’s likely to ask on a sales call.”
See what you think.
