However, while online user data can be demographically and behaviorally heterogeneous, most studies generate less than ten personas, regardless of how heterogeneous the data is.<\/p>\n<p>Because all persona creation efforts need to assign a number of personas to create, assigning this number evokes a fundamental question, <em>How many personas to create?<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>To address this question, we apply data-driven persona creation in a dataset with 250 million YouTube views from a global news and media organization.<\/p>\n<p>We focus on a statistically optimal number of personas, namely, how the distribution of demographic persona attributes deviates from the baseline user data.<\/p>\n<p>Altering the number of generated personas, ranging from 5 to 160 personas per set, we find that more personas cover more age groups and countries, thus improving the statistical correspondence with the raw user data, and increasing the representation of demographic diversity by including more fringe user segments.<\/p>\n<p>While the user representation continuously improved with more personas, the relative diversity gain was maximal with 40 personas, implying that, using our data, one ought to create more than 4 times more personas than generally advocated.<\/p>\n<p>The results imply that organizations with heterogeneous online audiences benefit from many personas in terms of more inclusive user representation.
