Brand Archetypes Bollywood Style — Marketing ki Filmy Storyline!
Hello marketing ke Shah Rukh Khans aur Deepikas!

“

Tera brand kaun sa filmy character hai?
Ranbir jaisa dreamy Lover ya SRK jaisa Hero?
Ya phir woh Jester jo sabko hasa ke bech deta hai?
Har brand bolta nahi — par har brand feel zaroor karata hai.
And that “feel”?
Comes from something deep: Brand Archetypes.
Let’s decode this with some Bollywood tadka
What Are Brand Archetypes?
Carl Jung (yaani psychology ka OG hero) ne kaha —
Log features se nahi, feelings se connect karte hain.
Aur feelings aati hain from familiar characters.
Jaise movies mein hota hai Hero, Villain, Lover, Joker...
Waise hi branding mein hote hain 12 Archetypes.
Jo brand inko use karta hai — woh yaad reh jaata hai.
Chalo samjhte hain desi examples ke saath

3. Royal Enfield – The Explorer
Highway, hills, freedom.

4. Mamaearth – The Caregiver
Clean, safe, gentle products.
Like maa ka pyaar — trust built in.
