If your brand feels a little… meh, it’s not your offer, your logo, or your color palette. It’s your vibe. And nothing brings the vibe like knowing your brand’s archetype.
This is the not-so-secret weapon behind brands that connect on a deep, human, damn-that-speaks-to-me level.
WTF are Brand Archetypes?
They’re the 12 universal brand personalities rooted in psychology, story, and strategy. Think:
- The Hero who leads the charge
- The Creator who builds from nothing
- The Jester who turns fun into connection
- The Ruler who leads with poise and power
Every iconic brand you know? They’re rocking an archetype that makes their content, visuals, and message feel aligned AF.
Why archetypes matter
Branding without archetypes is like cocktails without gin — it might work, but it won’t hit the same.
When you know your archetype, you can:
- Craft messaging that hits like a truth bomb
- Attract the right clients (and repel the wrong ones)
- Build consistency across your visuals, voice, and offers
