BRAND ARCHETYPES

Twelve universal personality patterns for brands — for example, Hero, Sage, Caregiver, Rebel — that give a brand a consistent character.

Why it matters

They make a brand emotionally recognizable and ensure it speaks with one voice across all channels.

What's missing without it

Without a chosen pattern, communication feels flat, and each campaign sounds like it’s from a different company.

When it is used

When building brand strategy, tone of voice, and creative content.

How we use it

Brand as Caregiver: safety, care, guarantees, calm tone.

Fun fact

The archetypes originate from Jungian psychology, which described them as common to all cultures. They entered marketing in the 1990s and proved useful for a practical reason: it’s easy to check whether a new ad fits with previous ones.
