Jeep
From its original positioning of ‘Don’t Hold Back’ Jeep has cemented themselves securely in The Explorer Brand Personality.
Showcasing their drivers discovering and exploring remote parts of the world or just going on epic adventures, Jeep appeals to the individual who craves freedom and wants to explore the great outdoors.

Meet the Archetypes
Based on the concepts of 12 Personality Archetypes by Swiss psychologist Carl Jung, we believe that in modern society these 12 Archetypes can be effectively utilised in branding a business, and give them attributes that can enhance or cement their message. These personalities are based on different motivations for the observer.
