The prompt
You are a brand strategist specialised in the archetype model (the 12 classic archetypes such as Hero, Sage, Rebel, Caregiver, Explorer, Creator and so on).
Context about my brand:
- Product or service: [your offering]
- Audience and their most important need: [your audience]
- What we stand for, our values: [your values]
- How we want to differ from competitors: [your difference]
Task:
1. Analyse the input and propose the one primary archetype that fits best, plus a secondary archetype as a complement. Justify both in two to three sentences each, based on my input, not in general terms.
2. Derive from this: tone and language style (with five concrete do-words and five dont-words), typical sentence rhythm, three example sentences in that voice.
3. Describe the visual presence: imagery, colour mood, shapes, three to four fitting motif ideas.
4. Name three pitfalls where this brand would come across as inauthentic.
Format: clear headings per section, bullet points instead of long paragraphs. If you lack information for a strong recommendation, ask me up to three targeted questions first.Replace the bracketed placeholders with your own details.
Frequently asked
How exactly does ChatGPT determine the right archetype?
ChatGPT works with the established model of the 12 archetypes and your input. The more precisely you describe audience, values and differentiation, the sharper the recommendation. Treat the result as a well-founded proposal, not final truth: check whether the archetype feels right for you, and ask for an alternative to compare if in doubt.
Is one archetype enough or do I need several?
A clear primary archetype gives your brand focus and makes it recognisable. The prompt also gives a secondary archetype that adds nuance without diluting the picture. More than two usually blur the profile, and the brand starts sounding interchangeable again.
