Standing Up Against the Competition
The Magician brand is great at finding win-win solutions that no one else thought about it. They do things differently ... and better ... and cutting edge. Anyone who has ever bought anything is seeking to make a change. The Magician is uniquely qualified to tap into this mindset. The Magician makes people feel that anything is possible and dreams can come true. They turn dreams into reality. The Magician excites, mesmerizes, uplifts, and enlightens.
Caution: The word "magician" sometimes invokes the sense of trickery or sleight of hand. The Magician brand has to be careful to not come off as manipulative. Being manipulated is one of this brands’ biggest fears. Even though the Magician provides transformation and dreams, it still has to be imbued with a level of trust. If you are too fantastical you will lose your audience's trust.
Embracing Your Archetype
Once you choose an archetype, it is important to look at everything you do through that lens. Zeedia Media has a process and schedule that cuts it up into bite-size pieces tackling only one hurdle at a time in a way that makes sense.
We guide you to look at each aspect of your business, starting with your name and logo. Is it Magician enough? Can it be improved upon? Then we move onto colors, fonts, taglines, etc. until each element of your brand and company culture has been tweaked and improved to be in line with your brand. This is true no matter which archetype you pick.
With any brand initiative, the most important element is consistency. The more consistent your message is the bigger impact you will have over time in your space. People will start to recognize your company and associate it with Magician-like qualities- whether they realize it or not.
