How to Use Jungian Archetypes to Build Brands with Wide Appeal
In an age with more advertising clutter, fragmented markets, and shorter consumer attention spans, how do brands get to stories that can break through and resonate with a large consumer base?

Brands that can tap into them can create motivating narratives to which consumers can quickly relate. This entertaining presentation will give you a quick overview on how your brand can use archetypes to guide your brand’s story.
