Knowing Your Audience Matters
Persona: Connected Executive
Many Twitter followers are executives in the prime of their
careers using Twitter to stay current with the latest
technology, and their own interests. Making sure their
companies are using the best tech is very important to them,
and their global reach.
Who’s Following: Channel Personas
The following are personas
developed solely on each
channel’s follower data. Persona: Arriving Manager
These followers are early in their career, but they’ve climbed
the ladder quickly. Their bosses rely on them for technology
recommendations, so they often spend mornings reading
articles and reviews. They’re constantly striving to improve
themselves both personally and professionally.
Persona: Passionate Associate
These followers have just begun their careers in information
technology and are becoming very passionate. Learning
more about the emerging tech is always a priority regardless
of their workload. Some are debating on using this
knowledge to become a professor down the road.
Who’s Engaging: Channel Personas
Persona: Tech-Focused Millennials
Not only do these Millennials have strong passions for tech,
but 44% of them actually work for Cisco. Their career has
begun to flourish and they’re excited for what the future
holds. They like to stay connected to the most recent news
and updates about all of their different interests.
Persona: Global Hobbyists
Only 30% of this audience lives in the US and over 30% live in
Middle-Eastern countries like India and Pakistan. While they
work in technology, they’re more apt to discuss their personal
lives and ambitions. They strive to succeed in their careers in
order to open the doors to non-work opportunities.
Persona: Analytical Businessmen
This audience is comprised of a variety of technology and
business professionals – many of which are key decision
makers. They understand the tech world is constantly
evolving and love to explore new products and methods to
