My contributions:
Played a key role in background research for chef’s attitudes towards Wüsthof, as well as used my own experience working in kitchens to identify a sub-audience for chefs that felt real and authentic.
Spearheaded the creation of the audience persona, a process that essentially consisted of our group holing up in a work room for three hours and using our data points to derive personality traits, habits, and values, all to a soundtrack of punk and surf rock.
Directed the general design of the final book, and narrated the “day in the life” persona section with “War Pigs” by Black Sabbath playing
in the background.
