Are you confused about branding?
How do you stand out from the crowd and connect with your customers?
Insights from psychology suggest feelings and identities have more influence on what brands are selected than objective factors such as product quality or cost.
The Brand Personalities are based on the concepts of 12 Personality Archetypes by Swiss psychologist Carl Jung. We can use these in branding a business to help guide your marketing efforts.
