Marketing Assets Worksheet
Use this worksheet to assess marketing assets relevant to a specific buyer persona. Complete a separate worksheet for each
buyer persona that you want to influence. If you are using this worksheet in the context of a go-to-market plan, identify the
primary goal you want to achieve with this persona.
Based on your persona research, evaluate each asset and assign it a value that reflects its potential to impact your goals and
messaging strategy for the persona in the first column. In the second column, assign a number that represents your current
investment in that asset. To identify the gap, subtract the value in the "current investment" column from the number in the
"potential for impact" column.
Add other assets that have a high potential for impact on this persona and assets where you are currently investing resources.
You want to compare all resource investments against each other and evaluate their potential to impact the target persona.
To improve your return on marketing assets, assign additional resources to assets that have positive gaps and reduce
resources on assets that have negative gaps.
