40. Full Brand Persona
CW-TV's brand persona is a young, extroverted women. She's
social, but also intrigued by genres and themes in books and media
that are not always the mainstream most popular consumer products.
She has a boyfriend, but does not live with him and enjoys her glass
of wine while watching her favorite shows after a 9-5 day's work. She
lives in a one-bedroom apartment in the city, enjoying the weekly
dinners "with her girls" talking about both the new happenings her
their own lives, as well as those who people who are not present.
Her income is relatively average, which makes sense as her life is
not consumed by work. Drama, suspense, and out-of-the-box
thinking intrigue her, as she enjoys looking at different types of the
world. She dreams of both heroism and chivalry. She has never been
your typical "popular" girl in her social groups, but instead she has
proven to be that creative girl with a different way of thinking.
