b. Mission Statement: Craft a clear and concise mission statement that encapsulates the purpose and direction of your brand. It should reflect your values and communicate the value proposition you offer to consumers.

Determining Your Brand Personality

a. Personality Traits: Define the personality traits that best represent your brand. Consider whether your brand is adventurous, sophisticated, playful, or something entirely different. These traits will guide your brand's tone of voice, messaging, and overall communication style.

Would you want to hang out with your brand after work?

Would you have wanted to sit at the same lunch table as your brand?

b. Brand Archetype (original pattern): Explore different archetypes that align with your brand's personality, such as the hero, the rebel, the creator, or the jester. Understanding your brand archetype helps create consistency and coherence across all brand touchpoints.

Is your brand socially driven? Freedom focused? Ego (structurally) driven? Or is it designed for order, to leave a mark?
