I think I was just being reactive to "Personas yeah ain't they great". I wonder how useful they really are? Also wonder if there are dissenting voices in the field?
I'm also reacting to the model of a one sided essays. I think if you had linked pro AND con arguments my reaction would be - wow well written AND researched.
When I came across the idea of personas about 10 years ago I was the same... and I do think it was a valuable construct. But these are actual fictions used to colour our presumptions. I think this is why data matching has replaced speculation in day to day marketing. But seriously this is all just hunches on my part. I was hoping that a behavioural strategist would come into the chat.
