\u201cBears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

For all the fans of the TV show The Office, <\/em>I\u2019m sure you remember the episode when Jim made fun of Dwight by emulating him for the first few minutes of the show. If you don\u2019t know what I\u2019m talking about then please stop reading this blog and come back after you\u2019ve watched season 3, Episode 21.<\/p>\n

OK, for the rest of us cultured TV consumers, let\u2019s continue. In that episode, Jim transformed himself into Dwight with a pair of four-dollar glasses and by mimicking Dwight\u2019s appearance, mannerisms, speech patterns, and characteristics.<\/p>\n

Although Jim used his knowledge of Dwight to mock him, he also inadvertently utilized an effective advertising practice called Persona development while reciting one of the most memorable quotes in recent TV history.<\/p>\n

Luckily, in our world of Employer Branding, we don\u2019t use Personas to drive our office mates mad. We use Personas to ensure our clients\u2019 Employer Value Proposition uniquely appeals to their target audiences. We also use Personas to personalize hiring processes for diverse types of candidates like seasoned RNs or newly minted physicians.<\/p>\n

A lot goes into creating an effective Persona beyond combing your hair forward and donning a mustard-colored shirt. There\u2019s conducting research, identifying patterns, creating detailed profiles, naming the Personas, and finally testing and refining the work. That\u2019s why you need the proven leader in Employer Branding, Buyer Advertising, to help you navigate this creative process so you can be a winner like Jim.<\/p>\n

Fact: If you know what kind of bear is best, but still not sure if Personas should be part of your next Employer Branding strategy, then contact Buyer Advertising today because bears eat beets and Buyer builds brands.<\/p>\n
