Persona AGD organizes a network around distinct editorial characters rather than generic brand accounts..
For a calendar tool, consider clearly fictional perspectives: a juggling freelancer, a revising student, a coordinating parent. Each encounters a specific problem. The difference must appear in the scenario, not merely a displayed age. Then examine whether audiences and their questions actually differ.
Build a scenario grid and look for duplicates. If all three narrators always encounter the same situation in the same words, their biographies are doing no work. Rewrite from each character’s constraints. A credible difference in context is more useful than a catalog of psychological traits invented to fill a brief. Evaluate the published content against those constraints rather than the personas’ decorative descriptions.
Give each narrator a different stake in the same product.
A product demonstration becomes more interesting when the narrator has a specific reason to care. A student wants to recover the argument in a difficult lecture. A freelancer wants to remember the client’s decision. A researcher wants to connect an observation to a source. The product may be identical, but the useful screen, vocabulary and ending change. Those differences give accounts an editorial purpose beyond multiplying the same promotional message.
From product to narrator
- 01Situation
The recurring moment in which help is needed.
- 02Stake
Why this narrator cares about solving it now.
- 03Proof
The visible result that would matter in that situation.
Editorial model: a way to reason about the process, not measured platform results.
Map the narrator’s situation before writing dialogue. Record what they already know, what makes the task difficult and what would count as a satisfying result. Then ask whether the account can keep serving that situation when the product is absent. A persona built only to deliver a CTA has little reason to retain an audience between promotions. Keep the network’s narrators far enough apart that a successful post cannot move unchanged between all of them. The goal is not theatrical complexity; it is a more precise relationship between audience need and the content being offered.
“One product. Three narrators. Three reasons.”

The limit. Three characters do not prove you reached three different audiences.
