The Mother Archetype

The big idea: Do nice things for others! Be caring.

What Does it Mean to Be a Mother Brand?

The Mother Brand’s number one priority is service. They are nurturing, supportive and compassionate. The Mother brand’s purpose is to focus on others. Clients and customers feel cared about and cared for. You always have their back. If you're a guide – if you hold their hand and see them through every step of the process, from start to finish, you are likely a Mother.

The Mother Archetype is the one stand-out choice if your singular focus is high-touch customer service.

The Mother is also known as: caregiver, doctor, healer, matron, grandmother, mom, parent, caretaker, nanny.
