Your Company’s Brand Archetype

Jester

Entertainer, Clown, Provocateur

Step 1: Verify Your Archetype

You are uniquely gifted in bringing joy and levity to situations. Your perspective of events brings surprising twists in meaning and interpretation, and in this way you present truth to those in power. You’re wicked smart. You appreciate beauty and support change. People know you for your exuberance and pranks, for breaking societal norms and dismissing tradition in favor of fun. You’re often seen as irreverent or mischievous in your unbridled view of life and indifference of conventions.
