@nxtbook
@marcusgrimm
Why Are You Here?
• You want to have a distinctive brand.
• You want to understand how to position
your brand against competitors who seem
smarter/cooler/tougher/sexier than you.
• You feel like whenever you go to do
marketing, you’re starting over.
A Quote
“There are people. There are stories. The
people think they shape the stories, but the
reverse is often closer to the truth.” – Alan
Moore

What’s an Archetype?
• Symbol.
• Universally understood by the self-
conscious.
• Defines without constraining.
The Father of Archetypes
Man's task is to become conscious of the contents that press upward from the unconscious.
Observation
• By a very early age (at the latest), there
are certain symbols (archetypes) that we
are aware of, have accepted and require
no prodding to deeply understand.
So what?
• I signed up for a marketing event.
• This sounds like psychobabble.
• How am I supposed to make money with
this information?

The Power of Archetypes
• Speed – The sooner you know me, the
sooner you can choose if you wish to
know me better.
• Provide clarity – Who you are.
• Shared understanding – I recognize you,
so we can go deeper into the
conversation.
• Provide context for communication – This
is why I talk the way I do.

Some Archetype Observations
• If you’re struggling to recognize an
archetype, it could be because there isn’t
one there.
• Unlike a marketing campaign change, an
archetype change is a big deal.

– KISS (entertainer to entrepreneur)
– Lance Armstrong (hero to outlaw)
Some Archetype Observations

everything but are better understood than
explained.

what you say.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
