The Explorer needs to feel excited. They aim to make people feel free to embrace their individuality and pursue the things that spark joy. Explorer brands are those that are innovative, ambitious, and do not conform to the expectations of others. These brands push the limits that everyone expects, and embraces discovery.
When looking at more rugged, outdoor products, the Explorer archetype comes to mind. The Explorer brands have the ability to support everyone’s ‘wild’ side.
An Explorer never wants to feel tied down, or limited to certain experiences. When marketing to this group, a sense of escapism needs to be promoted, while all inklings of corporate and conventional need to be stowed away.
They want to experience more and are willing to do whatever it takes to experience it.
