The MAGICIAN
The MAGICIAN archetype is good for brands that offer transformation – whether physical, spiritual, mental or commercial.
Famous MAGICIAN characters include Mary Poppins, Shakespeare’s Prospero, Walt Disney, Willy Wonka.
If your business provides transformative experiences – such as a chic restaurant, hotel or spa – then the MAGICIAN might be right for you.
If you have developed a new, contemporary product, then you should consider marketing it using the MAGICIAN archetype.
The MAGICIAN is able to influence others in highly effective ways. It’s for this reason that this archetype is commonly used by marketing related businesses – advertising is the ultimate form of influencing.
Typically, brands who embody the MAGICIAN archetype are medium to high priced.
