When you feel like you can really relate to a brand. It derives from you recognising and seeing certain human characteristics that you connect to as a person.
Which is why it is becoming increasingly important for brands to become more human.
It was psychologist Carl Jung who came up with the term brand archetypes to describe 12 types of personalities your brand can emulate based on the 12 core desires a human may have.
Branding is done best when it is based on emotions. Which is why the 12 archetypes come forth from these 12 core desires humans have.
Here are the archetypes and the desire they are linked to
The Rebel – Liberation
The Magician – Power
The Hero – Mastery
The Lover – Intimacy
The Jester – Enjoyment
The Everyman – Belonging
The Caregiver – Service
The Ruler – Control
The Creator – Innovation
The Innocent – Safety
The Sage – Understanding
The Explorer – Freedom

I loved seeing the sparkle In my client’s eyes when they finally reached to pick up the explorer archetype moodboard knowing they have found their brand personality.
When we decide on our brand archetype, there are 2 things we must keep in mind.
1. What archetype is your audience?
2. What role do you play in your audience’s life?
That second one is important because your audience doesn’t necessarily need the same archetype in their life to get to their goal.
Your audience will relate to the same characteristics as their archetype but think about this example:
If you are a jester and love having fun but you need to buy work boots, you’ll probably want to get something that is really safe and trustworthy. You might not be too attracted to another Jester brand in that case.
