Meet the Worldview Segments and Personas

The Worldview research has identified six clearly defined and targetable audiences among the Irish public ranging from young (18+) to old and less to highly engaged across a range of socio-economic demographics and measures including issues of importance, life guiding principles and values and worldviews.

Meet the Personas within the Segments

Now that we know the audience segments, who are the people within these groups?

These Worldview Personas were developed by participants of the Worldview Practitioners Workshop and act as a useful tool to generate discussion and creative ideas within teams.
