Your persona live and in action
Personas come in all shapes and formats: as slides, posters, scrapbooks or cardboard displays. They inspire and represent the customer in workshops, service training sessions and training courses. But all formats have one disadvantage: they cannot speak, react or give answers. They usually remain flat, in the truest sense of the word.
We do it differently: Based on your formats, we bring personas live to you in an ideation workshop, team call or employee event.
We work without script and screenplay! All our performers are improvisation professionals and react spontaneously, compentently and charmingly to your questions based on the profile of the personas.
We come to you:
- to an ideation workshop
- to a team meeting
- to a strategy meeting
- to your employee event
- to a roadshow
- to the user interview
and experience the user journey together
Live or virtual, but always interactive.
Paper is patient and can wait.
