An essential tool for defining the foundation of your artist brand

The Brand Archetypes for Music Artists Workbook introduces an innovative framework rarely applied in music: the use of brand archetypes to help artists articulate the creative and emotional essence of their identity. Archetypes draw from deep-seated psychological patterns that shape how audiences connect with stories, personas, and ideas, making them a valuable lens through which artists can understand and influence perception.

This workbook is designed as both a research and brainstorming tool. It encourages artists to explore possibilities for creative direction, tone, and style, while also laying the groundwork for a coherent and strategic brand expression. It is an entry point into a broader brand-building process, best used in conjunction with other tools available in the Delfina shop.

Why archetypes, and why now

In a landscape where artists are expected to communicate with clarity and consistency across a range of platforms, archetypes offer more than a marketing shortcut. They provide a psychological framework that helps artists understand how audiences connect emotionally with creative work.

By drawing on universal human narratives, archetypes can inspire artists to explore new creative directions while ensuring that their brand remains legible, authentic, and resonant.

This workbook is one element in Delfina’s suite of tools designed to help artists build enduring, differentiated brands.
