Advice: how better to use brand archetypes

SOLVE

Hey folks 👋

Does anyone here use brand archetypes in their marketing?

Would you mind sharing your experience with this approach?

 

I'm figuring out whether this thing is worth the effort to apply to brands I'm working with. Any success/failure stories would be of tremendous help 🙏

 

Thanks!

Advice: how better to use brand archetypes

Great question, @OliaGozha

 

When I've run marketing (instead of training/teaching), I was more apt to use well-designed personas to reach my desired audience rather than brand archetypes for my company. Maybe that's shortsighted, but that's where I was "back then." 

 

However, a former colleague wrote this great piece that got me thinking about how I'd think of my brand through this lens, were I to tackle branding again.

It's not a personal example, but I hope it's still helpful! 

 

P.S. Thanks for the tag @kvlschaefer

Thanks, Dan, for sharing an insightful post!

I guess personas are just another side of a coin, right? You can always use both approaches: to be consistent by following the archetype and to be specific based on 

the persona details.
