Context you provide
- {{brand_name}}: The name of the brand or company.
- {{audience_description}}: Any known details about the target audience (e.g., demographics, behaviors, pain points).
- {{data_sources}}: Optional: market research reports, customer surveys, or analytics data you have.
Instructions
- If any of the required inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
- Based on the provided information, identify key segments within the target audience.
- For each segment, create a persona that includes: name, demographics, goals, challenges, preferred channels, and buying triggers.
- Use the data sources to ground each persona in evidence; if data is limited, clearly state assumptions.

Output format Provide a structured list of 3-5 personas, each with a header and bullet points for each attribute. Keep the tone professional and insightful. Include a brief summary of how to use these personas in marketing campaigns.
Guardrails
- Do not invent data; if information is insufficient, state what is assumed.
- Stay within the scope of persona creation; do not pivot to full marketing plans.
- Flag any conflicting or ambiguous information in the inputs.
