The Regenerative Brand Archetype Quiz
Gain greater clarity on how to present your brand's identity as a guide and leader for regenerative change. As you take this quiz you will learn your brand's archetype profile and how to best utilize it in your message and marketing.
Unclear and Undefined Brands Dilute and Distort Impactful Messages
There are more businesses than ever building triple-bottom-line profits that are moving us toward a more inclusive, fair, and balanced economy. Despite this, there is a lot of noise out there that can dilute and distort the impactful work you are doing and the message you are putting out to the world.
Some of that noise is easily recognized by our audience. Like the clearly extractive and degenerative brands, our ideal audience avoids. Some of that noise comes from businesses that are pretending to do good. Our ideal audience has even started to identify them as brands who talk but don't walk the walk and label them as green, blue, pink, or social washing.
The more subtle and potentially more damaging noise that dilutes and distorts our brand and message is the only one we have control over, our own messaging. If your brand is undefined and unclear you are adding to the noise and making it difficult for your audience to understand and take part in the impactful work you are doing.
Using Archetypes to build Clear and Distinguished Regenerative Brands
The first step in creating a strong message that breaks us out of the noise and into the hearts of our ideal audience is to clearly identify who we are and express that to our audience. Thankfully, we can use a powerful storytelling tool called archetypes to help us define our brands identity and build clear messaging around that identity.
There are 12 brand archetypes that represent different personas or parts of a brand's personality that are clearly understood by those our business interacts with. If we understand what archetypes our brand best represents we can use that understanding to craft clear and compelling messages for our audience. By taking the archetype quiz linked on this page you'll be able to learn what archetypes best represent your brand. Then, you have a framework to create messaging that helps you clearly distinguish your brand's identity and message.
