In front of the wall is a carved wood side table with two white tea cups and saucers perched on top, nestled between two worn leather cigar chairs with wooden feet, and a richly patterned Persian rug underfoot. Soft, warm natural lighting from the right casts shadows across the room, creating a dark and moody atmosphere.

Every brand has a soul. Archetypes help you name it.

Based on Carl Jung’s psychology. Brand archetypes are universal characters that help people understand your personality and purpose. They’re the inner compass that keeps your branding consistent, clear, and grounded.

Are you a Creator, driven by innovation and imagination? A Hero, pushing people to overcome? A Caregiver, leading with compassion? These archetypes give your brand a recognizable heartbeat.

The magic lies in the mix. You might be a Rebel with a touch of Lover, or a Sage who speaks like a Ruler. Your blend creates dimension, something your audience can feel and trust.

Archetypes shape every part of branding and marketing. The tone you use, the visuals you choose, and the emotional response you trigger. When done right, your brand becomes a story people believe in.

If you’re unsure which archetype fits your brand or how to bring it to life, that’s where The Parlor comes in. I’ll help you define your archetype, refine your voice, and redesign your identity around you’re story.

Because branding isn’t about becoming something new, it’s about revealing who you’ve been all along.
