Description of Persona
I intend to project my professional persona consistently across a range of platforms. The persona reflects:
• My position as a media coordinator at a leading global agency, and related grasp of the current media landscape
• My understanding of cutting edge theory through completion of a Master of Communications
• My reality as a young digital-savvy early adopter of technologies and platforms
• My passion for, and knowledge of culture and what’s happening in the world
• My status as a well-travelled and socially aware person
Rationale
My rationale for projecting this professional persona:
To ensure that my web presence, content and discussion is as relevant and engaging as possible for my target audiences, being:• Other media and communications professionals• Potential employers• People interested in the current media and digital
landscapes – especially young people
(Note: I am careful to keep it authentic and true to my ‘voice’; I do not want to shape my ID only to superficially pander to these audiences)
Appeal to Target Publics
• To other media professionals: A source of knowledge, a partner for professional networking, collaboration, and discussion around industry issues
• To potential employers: A switched on, engaged, knowledgeable candidate for future career opportunities
• For people interested in media and digital: A source of entertaining and enlightening content, a partner in discussion and debate around these areas

Strategies to Achieve Persona
• Projecting persona consistently across platforms Twitter, Blogger, Tumblr and Google+
• Publishing relevant content and attempting to engage audiences around media and digital issues
• Utilising strengths of each platform: Hashtag conversations on Twitter, posting multimedia on Tumblr, using Blogger for discussion of course content
• Tone of voice is relaxed, but still informed, reflecting ID. Sometimes irreverent
• Posting consistently, not too often (annoying) or too infrequently (doesn’t build profile)
