What the eff even are brand archetypes?!
Archetypes were first introduced by famous psychologist Carl Jung way back in the 1940’s.
If you wanna’ know more about the Jung’s theory, you can read my post over here, or you could just Google it because there are about a gajillion and one articles out there that talk about them.
So instead of trying to summarize his life’s work, this page is my version of how you can apply these babies to your business & life.
Let’s dive the heck in.

Online Entrepreneurs
The Regular Guy/Gal Brand Archetype is one of my favorites for entrepreneurs.
They’re the sterotypical “girl next door” type that you want to be around all the time. They’re positive and optimistic, but they know how to keep it real, too.
Taylor Lee // Business & Marketing Coach
I love Taylor. She’s down-to-earth, she’s relatable, she’s fun, and she makes everything SO EASY to understand.
She has a unique way of breaking down abstract ideas into concrete steps to achieve your goals. And she gives away a shit-ton of free content. Not the fluffy crap, either. Like real, actionable, content.

Fictional Characters
Did you know that the archetypes all have a “shadow side” too? That’s why I’m showin’ ya the GOOD and the BAD side, so make sure to hover over the imagesto learn how each character fits the Regular Gal Archetype.
The regular gal brand archetype
The Good Side
Lilo Pelekai
Lilo Pelekai
Aw, I love Lilo. She’s a little bit weird, but all she wants is to have a deep connection with someone. Then she finds Stitch! He’s crazy and kind of mean, but she turns him around.
The regular gal brand archetype
The Bad Side
Stinky Pete
Stinky Pete
All of those years he spent on a shelf with no love turned him into a bitter, old, a-hole. He tried to keep Woody and the gang away from their kiddos, but he ended up getting sent home with a little girl who probably loved him.
The regular gal brand archetype
The Good Side
Spider-Man
Spider-Man
He is PERFECT for the Regular Guy archetype – after all, he’s the friendly neighborhood superhero! I love that he’s crazy smart but also really humble. Plus Tom Holland is adorable.
The regular gal brand archetype
The Bad Side
Foggy Nelson
Foggy Nelson
I know Foggy isn’t a bad guy – not even close, really – but he deserted his best buddy when he found out about his secret identity. #rude I guess he made up for it, though. But I’m still mad.
The regular gal brand archetype
The Good Side
Neville Longbottom
Neville Longbottom
Neville has always been a great friend to Harry. And everyone else, really. He started off a little bit shy, but he turned out to be a pretty resilient character. Also, he got really hot.
The regular gal brand archetype
The Bad Side
Crabbe and Goyle
Crabbe and Goyle
These guys just wanted to fit in with Malfoy and his crew. They’re followers and people pleasers. They probably wouldn’t have been bad in the first place if they had some different friends.
The regular gal brand archetype
The Good Side
Jon Snow
Jon Snow
He’s my favorite. I feel like I’ve probably said that before about someone else, but I mean it this time. He’s honest, humble, effing hot, practical, reliable, effing hot, and a great big brother. And he’s hot.
The regular gal brand archetype
The Bad Side
Myrcella Baratheon
Myrcella Baratheon
Myrcella was just a sweet kid. She didn’t know how gross her parents were. Barf. So she can’t really be a bad guy, but her Lannister name just keeps her in this column. #RIP

My favorite part… Music!
Rock n roll, baby
Here’s to Us // Halestorm
Lzzy Hale’s got some pipes, dude.
Country
Pickup Man // Joe Diffie
He’s your typical guy next door, right? Maybe?
Pop
Hand In My Pocket // Alanis Morissette
She’s definitely a girl next door. Gah, I love her.
My favorite Regular Gal song
Soulcreek // Black Stone Cherry
If you don’t know me yet, you should know I’m a bit of a music snob. And I’m really proud of it.
Sure, I can appreciate the occasional pop-y song for fun, but my heart lies with the true musicians who write and play their own music.
So it’s only fitting that this is my favorite song for the Regular Guy/Gal Brand Archetype.
I love this song.
Black Stone Cherry is my favorite blues-y southern rock band. I may or may not have seen them like 12 times. I have.
