The CREATOR
CREATOR brands are inherently non-conformist – common characteristics include being innovative, creative, free-thinking, inspirational and talented.
Famous CREATOR examples include Elon Musk, James Dyson, Heston Blumenthal and Steve Jobs.
If your business creates something of enduring value or helps others to be more creative then the CREATOR archetype might be a good match for you.
The CREATOR archetype is typically associated with finding opportunities for imaginative solutions and thinking ‘outside the box’.
Brands who adopt the CREATOR archetype may provide the ability for people to express themselves or help people dismantle old structures to create new ones.
Businesses who focus significant time and resources on research and development, innovation and beauty could be a good fit for the CREATOR archetype.
