Brand Archetype
The Sage
The sage brand archetype is like a trustworthy, intelligent friend you can always depend on. If your company’s reason for being is to seek out the truth and to provide expertise or information to others. Or if you place a high value on knowledge, your brand is likely a Sage archetype.
Sage brands are brands that people turn to for information. Consequently, these brands share a common goal: to understand the world while sharing knowledge along the journey. Avoid trying to sound too smart, as this can make your customers feel inferior.
