BUILD YOUR OWN CATEGORY OF ONE BRAND
Your brand has a character. Meet her.
Your Category of One is already hiding in plain sight.
It’s in your essence, your energy, your point of view and the way you move through the world. Your archetype helps you uncover that energy and activate it everywhere.
Meet her through the cards: spread across your kitchen table, until your blend of archetypes shows up. Get to know her in six live masterclasses. Then your own GPT or Claude Skill interviews you and puts her on paper in one Brand Framework: her voice, her look, her rules.
From then on, every designer, photographer and AI knows exactly who they're working with.
For founders and creators who are ready to stop blending in
and become impossible to compare.
A WHY YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE A CATEGORY OF ONE..YET
You scroll your own feed and see everyone else
You built something with a mission, and you want it to stand out. Then you open Instagram and there it is: your market, all saying roughly the same thing, in roughly the same way. You are good at what you do. The problem is that nobody can see the difference anymore.
And here is the annoying part: the thing that makes you different is often invisible to you, because you are standing inside it. That is exactly what the cards are for: they hold up the mirror you cannot hold up yourself.
The good part? You don’t need to invent an entirely new category. You need to uncover what is already different about you — and make it unmistakable.
SAME WORDS
Everyone in your market promises transformation, clarity and impact. The words have stopped meaning anything.
SAME LOOK
Same palettes, same poses, same carousel templates. Swap the logo and nobody would notice.
SAME AI
And now the same models write everyone's captions. Feed them nothing distinct, and they return the average of your entire industry.
WHY THIS WORKS
Brands with a character win
Brands positioned on a human character are proven more successful. People recognise the character from their unconscious, so they trust the brand sooner and feel a stronger bond with it. They say yes faster, happily pay a higher price, stay longer, come back more often, and become your loudest ambassadors.
That is what an archetype does: it uncovers the energy that is uniquely yours and gives your brand a character people can feel before you have said a word.
Activate that character across your voice, visuals, content, offers and customer experience, and you stop looking like another version of everyone else in your industry.
And you are never just one. A Queen with a Rebel underneath. A Creator with Funny Lady energy. Your blend is the one thing in your market nobody can copy.
AFTER THIS
What changes when your brand has a character
Disclaimer: this programme comes with extra laugh lines. Fun is included. It's a package deal.
You only attract the clients who want to invest in you.
People have already decided on you before you've pitched anything.
Someone tags you under a post with 'this is SO you'. And they're right.
You brief designers, photographers and AI in one go, and what comes back finally looks like you.
You get noticed, recommended and asked, because your brand finally has a face people remember.
THE BRANDING TOOLKIT
your gaze. your brand. Your rules.
The heart of the programme is a physical toolkit that lands on your doormat: Character cards, Archetype cards, Tone of Voice cards, Brand Motto cards, Senses cards and Brand Vibe cards.
You shuffle, stack, select and funnel your way to your archetype and your style. It works because your hands think differently than your head. Playing with the cards surfaces the answers you cannot get to by staring at a blank page. That is also why the Toolkit is deliberately physical: this part of the work does not happen on a screen.
HOW IT WORKS
Play first. Then build.
The cards
You start by playing. Intuitively sorting the cards puts words to things you have always felt about your brand and never managed to say.
Six live masterclasses
Your Brand Archetype: find your blend and core energy.
Your Unique Gaze: turn your obsessions into your perspective.
Your Distinctive Concept: claim the idea that sets you apart.
Your Brand Codes: create your recognisable signatures.
Embody Your Brand: make your archetype visible.
Activate Your Brand Universe: bring your brand to life.
Custom GPTs and Claude Skills
The custom GPTs run in ChatGPT, the Claude Skills run in Claude. Same method, so you pick the tool you prefer. Either way, the output finally sounds like you, because you gave your AI something real to work from.
Your Brand Framework
The end result: one clear framework with the character, direction and rules of your brand. You use it in your AI systems, your socials, your website, your offers, and every brief you ever hand to a designer.
YOUR GUIDE
This is me. The Funny Lady.
For more than twenty years I activated brands people have loved for generations: Coca-Cola, Chanel, Dior, L'Oréal, Nintendo, Mini. In Archetype Your Brand I show you exactly how I built my own brand behind the scenes, so you can see which dials to turn on yours.
Further essentials: I come from a family of entrepreneurs, I love wordplay and egg-and-bacon sandwiches with apple syrup, I am useless at housework, my kids have never once seen me iron, I have a mildly serious coffee-cup fetish and a healthy obsession with Parisian doors.
And I am ridiculously proud of building the coolest branding toolkit ever. I cannot wait to send you one.
