From Generic to Genuine: Rethink Your ICP
Last week, I had a kick-off with a new client.
When I asked who they wanted to reach, they said:
"Our target group is 30-50 year old males, who live in Stockholm."
Sound familiar?
This is how most companies define their Ideal Customer Profile (ICP).
👉Age
👉Gender
👉Location
But here's the problem:
By this approach, a tech-savvy city guy and a nature-loving outdoorsman could end up in the same target group.
Will the same message resonate with both? Probably not.
To really resonate, you have to dig much deeper. Think about:
👉Interests
👉 Lifestyle
👉 Personality
👉 Values
👉 Goals
When you go beyond demographics, you speak in a way that actually resonates.
That’s when your message starts sticking.
So, how deep have you gone in defining your ICP?
I’d love to hear from you – let’s keep refining it together!
Until next Monday, with warm regards,
