Meet The Innocent Archetype
The Innocent
The Innocent Brand Archetype is an optimist who can always find a silver lining in every cloud. You appreciate the simplicity and the natural state of things and strive to keep things as uncomplicated as possible.
With a strong moral fiber, Innocent brands strive to help people meet the basic needs of happiness and simplicity in their otherwise hectic lives. Ethics, purity, and simplicity are the hallmarks of the Innocent brand. It’s seen most commonly in non-profit organizations, mom and pop shops, and businesses that produce natural, safety conscious goods, and services.

Nostalgia evokes deep emotions in you and you enjoy reflecting on past experiences to once again enjoy the memories and lessons the past has gifted you with. Genuinely concerned with the well-being of others, you’re viewed as a wholesome brand, full of virtue. You enjoy the safety, calmness, and the security of open, trusting relationships, both personally and professionally.
