Soul Brand Archetypes & Alchemy

"A brand is literally what people say about your business when you're not in the room".

What Are Soul Brand Archetypes?

Soul Brand archetypes are one of 12 brand identities or personalities that consumers instantly recognise.

According to Carl Jung, a Psychoanalyst, there are universal, unconscious, unlearned, and genetic patterns in human society that transcend culture, generation, and geographical location (at the psyche level). These patterns were transformed into twelve personas (also referred to as archetypes), which represent how we all present ourselves to the world based on our instincts.

The easiest way to describe archetypes would be to compare them to characters in a book or movie: People relate to certain characters, such as the rebel, the hero, etc.

Identifying Your Soul Brand Archetype

Aligning your brand with identifiable archetypes will help everyone quickly understand what you offer and how to interact with you.

By determining which identity best represents your brand, you’ll accomplish several things. With a clear vision of your brand personality, you can develop a logo, create a website, and plan your marketing strategy easily. As a result, your audience will feel more connected to you. The more they know about your brand, the more likely they are to trust it.
