The Sage brand personality is one of 12 different brand personalities that we use in branding. A brand personality is simply a set of human characteristics that you can use to describe your brand. Align your brand personality to one of the 12 Personality Archetypes defined by Carl Jung. Each has a very strong set of characteristics that people can easily recognise so they can connect emotionally with your brand. Using these archetypes to define your brand is powerful because it leverages the science behind human emotional connections.

Is your company’s mission driven by the desire to find the truth? If this is your dominant characteristic, then your brand aligns with the sage brand personality.
