Kismet Avatar Deck — CANONICAL (May 2026)
Single source of truth. Supersedes v1 user draft + v2 deck + voice-mining report. Built on 170+ verbatim customer quotes across 15+ sources.
The avatar set
- Gut-Fix Grace (LEAD, 50% paid) — symptom-led gut health, vet-confessional format
- Fresh-Food Priced-Out Fiona (20% paid) — repositioned vs Spot & Tango with clinical-trial wedge
- Senior-Care Susan (15% paid, NEW) — replaces Dan; high AOV multi-product attach
- Kibble-Guilt Katie (10% paid retargeting) — Cool Aunt voice, demoted from lead
- Optimized Olivia (5% paid, kill criterion) — wellness-aligned premium test
- First-Puppy Paige (organic/SEO only) — content/lead-magnet funnel
Dropped: Performance Dog Dad Dan — voice too sparse; “active” angle folds into Grace creative variants.
What’s in the canonical deck
- Strategy: executive summary, funnel architecture (TOF/MOF/BOF), voice & tone guardrails, competitive positioning matrix, retail/launch context
- All 6 avatars with full original-format profile + verbatim quote bank + competitive wedge + format priority + sustain/kill criterion
- Operations: kill/sustain criteria summary, open data gaps, recommended next steps
- Appendix: 170+ verbatim quotes organized by 10 themes + complete source list
Critical strategic finding
Spot & Tango is running Kismet’s “Fresh without the fridge” + “Costs 40% less than frozen fresh” + “Picky eater approved” verbatim, 100+ days active. The global brief’s “fresh-without-the-fridge-angle” needs to be retired and replaced. Fiona’s wedge must lead with clinical-trial proof + freeze-dried nug format + 45-day money-back.
Recommended next actions
- Update global brief — remove “fresh-without-the-fridge-angle”
- Draft creative briefs for Grace + Susan (richest mined voice)
- Build First-Puppy Paige content track (SEO + lead magnet)
- Set up per-avatar measurement infrastructure
- Test Teigen/Legend Senior creative (Badlands Ranch is winning with Heigl — Kismet’s founders are unused asset for this lane)
