# Audience & ICP

Defines who the brand is for — the audience segments and ideal customer profiles that guide positioning, messaging, and product decisions. Combines demographic, psychographic, and behavioral insights to ensure brand relevance and resonance.

## Target Segments

Defines distinct audience groups by demographics, firmographics, and psychographics. Each segment should represent a coherent set of needs and behaviors.

## Ideal Customer Profile (ICP)

Describes the archetype of the perfect-fit customer — including company size, industry, geography, budget, tech stack, and buying role. Informs sales and marketing alignment.

## Personas

Detailed humanized profiles representing typical customers within target segments. Include motivations, pain points, and buying triggers. Useful for messaging tone and content.

## Jobs to Be Done

Framework for understanding what the customer is trying to accomplish, functionally and emotionally. Helps reveal unmet needs and message hooks.

## Pain Points & Challenges

Captures obstacles, frustrations, or inefficiencies customers face. Critical for shaping messaging and positioning around real value creation.

## Motivations & Goals

Defines what drives the customer — their emotional, social, or functional objectives. Bridges the gap between rational value and emotional resonance.

## Buying Context & Triggers

Explores when and why customers make decisions, including events or conditions that prompt purchase (e.g., renewal cycles, new regulations, life events).

## Empathy Mapping

Visual tool summarizing what customers think, feel, see, say, and do. Helps build deeper understanding and message authenticity.
