Find your customer - find your brand

Sometimes it is easier to truly get to know your brand by creating a picture of who the brand would be if the brand was a person. Preferably a person that your target group would love.
The customer
What kind of personality would this person have. Let us say that your dream customer is John and Clara. John has his own micro brewery and Clara is the founder of a successful startup. The couple like food made with local, high quality products. They live in a modern apartment but dream about a life on the countryside, with a couple of animals and growing their own vegetables.
