Example Brands
The truth will set you free.
Sage brands are committed to seeking out the truth. They will use the knowledge and wisdom they have gained to understand the world. The Sage is well-respected, capable of analyzing information objectively and willing to share the answer with others. Intelligent and insightful, Sage brands are great mentors as they see the value in thinking things through and they also inspire others to delve deeper rather than taking something at face value.
These brands are driven to find answers to the most challenging questions. This desire to discover the truth eventually leads to mastery in their field. In addition to demonstrating enhanced problem solving skills, the Sage is a perfectionist who values freedom of thought, critical thinking and individualism.

"Education is the path to wisdom, and wisdom is where the answers lie."
The Sage archetype serves as a guardian of the truth and a reliable source of wisdom. These brands help their audience uncover the truth, understand the world and ultimately realize their full potential. The Sage audience enjoys learning new things simply for the sake of becoming more knowledgeable and gaining insights about the world. They value intelligence and independent thinking.
As they’re able to grasp more complex ideas, they prefer to receive the hard data necessary to make an informed decision on their own. They’re not afraid of products that require a steep learning curve and they respond well to advertising that challenges them to think in a different way. Cute or fluffy ads will not appeal to the Sage audience. They trust transparent brands who offer concrete information over those who’re not eager to disclose relevant details or who talk down to them.
