Ever wonder how to build effective community personas? Whether you've already launched your community and are struggling with engagement, or you're about to launch a new community, developing and refining community personas is an essential, yet often difficult and elusive, exercise.

This is because community personas are not only distinct from marketing personas, but they're also grounded in the relationships you build with your members.
