Your Company’s Brand Archetype

Advocate, Networker, Everyday-normal-person

Step 1: Verify Your Archetype

Your business decisions are driven by a sense of personal integrity. Your values are deeply rooted and focus on supporting equality and maintaining a role as a responsible member of your community. You see others as equals and are not out for personal gain. You find value in the collective and trust the inherent good of humanity.
