How Archetypes Can Improve Your Online Branding Strategy

In today’s digital landscape, consumers increasingly prefer to research their purchases independently. A Forrester study from 2018 highlighted that 68% of people favor doing research alone, a notable increase from 53% in 2015. This shift underscores the importance of a strong digital presence across various platforms. But how do you ensure consistency in your brand’s message and feel across these touchpoints? The answer lies in effectively leveraging your established brand archetype.

The Role of Archetypes in Digital Marketing

While archetypes, rooted in Carl Jung's psychological theories, are often associated with brand development, their value extends into the realm of digital marketing. For brands with a defined archetype, whether it’s the Hero, Caregiver, or any of the twelve universal archetypes, the focus shifts from discovery to application.

Consistency Across Digital Touchpoints

Many Trivera clients believe that an understanding of their brand's archetype is crucial in providing a consistent experience across multiple platforms. Whether it’s through social media posts, website content, or digital ads, each interaction should reflect their brand’s core identity. This consistency is not just about maintaining a uniform tone and style; it’s about resonating with their audience’s expectations and emotions tied to their brand archetype.

Applying Archetypes to Digital Strategies

Here are some of the ways Trivera applies archetypes to the digital Marketing Strategies we develop for our clients:

1. Content Strategy: Tailor your content to reflect your archetype's traits. For example, a brand with a Sage archetype might focus on insightful blog posts and informative webinars, whereas a Jester archetype might lean towards engaging, humorous social media content.

2. User Experience: Design your website and online platforms to mirror the feelings and values of your archetype. This could mean a more adventurous and exploratory interface for an Explorer brand, or a comforting and nurturing layout for a Caregiver brand.

3. Digital Advertising: Your ads should be an extension of your archetype, ensuring that every interaction strengthens your brand's identity and message.
