"The most wholesome things in life are unadulterated and pure."
The Innocent audience strives for goodness. They’re drawn to optimistic brands who make life simple and promise an idyllic experience; for example a happy relationship, a fulfilling job or a beautiful home. Once they have found their brand, they remain loyal and trusting. The Innocent customers can be quite traditional and are hence not interested in changes. They will not respond to gimmicky advertising or ads that are guilt-inducing, preferring straight-talking ads instead.

How to Use This Archetype
The Innocent archetype suits brands associated with honest values, health, cleanliness and natural products. Being concerned with others’ well-being, this archetype is also the ideal brand personality for those who appeal to professional caretakers like therapists, coaches, guides and social workers. The Innocent brands offer a simple solution to any problem that has to do with goodness, morality, nostalgia and childhood. They communicate using natural images and a cheerful, straightforward tone to convey a positive message e.g. renewal; optimism; nostalgia for a simpler age or genuine, happy memories between friends, family or lovers.
