Persona Attribution Chart Overview

Once you have created Personas, you can see how each Persona is interacting with your coverage. 

Earned Impact Personas enable you to understand which audiences your earned media coverage is resonating with. From the analytics provided for personas, you can discover new audiences, benchmark message resonance, segment earned audiences by dozens of demographic and firmographic traits, and personalize content for target audience personas! If you have web conversions as part of your subscription and they are enabled, you will also be able to see how many conversions can be attributed to each persona and the total audience.

After you have created Earned Impact Personas, you are able to view Attribution data in the Interactive Attribution Chart.

1. Click the Analytics tab.
2. Select the Impact for Earned Media option.
3. Click the arrow on the Earned Media search for which you want to see Persona Attribution.

   • The chart will show Total Views and Daily Unique Viewers generated by the selected Persona for each day, enabling you to see the peak and overall trend of the news consumption.
4.  If you have Impact Conversions set up for your Earned Impact Searches, you will be able to see the number of conversions the Persona has contributed. Examples of types of conversions could include the Persona visiting your website, registering for an event, downloading a PDF, and/or requesting more information via a link in the earned coverage.
