KEY TAKEAWAYS
- A business founded upon a product-centric approach instantly fails to take into account the most important stakeholder: the customer. What are their needs?
- If a brand an understand the archetypes of its ideal customer, and can align with their values, it can engender a sense of trust, whether consciously or unconsciously.
- Aim for an 80/20 split when it comes to marketing. 80% of your revenue should be coming from your core audience or archetype. The other 20% should come from another.
- We should appeal to our customer’s sense of risk, and attempt to solve problems that are high-stake. Identify the need that’s keeping your customer up at night.
BEST MOMENTS
‘We tend to align with things that align with us’
‘Archetypes are the heartbeat of a brand’
