085: How to use Brand Archetypes to Amplify your Business, Brand, and Bottom Line, with Stephanie Gunther

We are hard wired for storytelling. We learn through stories and we teach our children through them. That doesn’t stop when we are adults, or become business owners.  Our stories influence our brands and the messages we send out about what we do and our values. One of the issues so many people struggle with is figuring out ‘who’ is the business and how much of themselves to put into it. This is where brand archetypes come in. They help you define your brand so it stands out and attracts the right people. To find out more about this, I spoke to branding expert Stephanie Gunther on the podcast this week. Stephanie is on a mission to educate her clients on the sheer power of implementing and strengthening the many facets of branding: from the visual look to the brand messaging to the personality of a company and the people in it.
