The Innocent Brand Archetype Explained:
The customer of an Innocent brand archetype prefers straight-talking, gimmick-free advertising, and they are naturally drawn to optimistic brands. Advertising that is very heavy or guilt-inducing is likely to drive them away.
Innocent brands foster purity, simplicity, and trustworthiness. Across all their communication mediums, their brand’s tone is simple yet cheerful, radiating optimism. They will use concise language and simple and natural imagery to carry out their messages.
Innocent brands will promise Simplicity.
They will offer a somewhat simple solution to any problem associated with goodness, morality, simplicity, nostalgia, and childhood. Innocent brands will strive to do what is right and positive. Most of the time, their simplistic view of the world can be perceived as a weakness. They fear to do something immoral and to see the world being influenced by something negative or unnatural.
