Consumer Typologies
As you journey across the globe, you gain insights into the rich tapestry of consumer behaviors and attitudes related to water filtration and purification. Consumer Typologies provide us with the ability to classify consumers into distinct groups based on their preferences and behaviors in the realm of water filtration, specifically relevant to Aquamor’s products and services. These classifications are grouped into five key typologies, aligning with Aquamor’s mission to provide cutting-edge water filtration solutions. This approach empowers us to develop tailored products and services that cater to the unique needs and preferences of these different groups, ensuring that Aquamor remains at the forefront of the water filtration industry.
Typology 1

- Searching for readily available education to make an informed purchase decision
Example

In line with my values, I own reusable water bottles to minimize single-use plastic waste. The safety and health of my loved ones are paramount, and I strive to make informed choices for a sustainable and healthy lifestyle.

Brand Archetypes
People have personalities. Brands have personalities. If you want to do good business by building a successful brand, you must be skillful about matching your market with your brand. As both a face and a function, archetypes reveal how a brand shows up in the world, how it is motivated and what triggers it. Very simply, archetypes can facilitate the understanding of a brand, and identify why it attracts certain customers. You then attract those customers when your brand is congruent with an archetype that is either dominant or emerging in their consciousness.
Who We Are
Citizen
The Citizen is driven by a deeply instilled sense of personal integrity, fairness, equity, and responsibility to the community. This archetype’s identity is shaped by the experience of being a peer rather than a subject or ruler. The Citizen believes in and works to manifest values that are higher than profit or individual gain. Meaning is found in the personal sense of alignment between beliefs and action. Seeing the value in the collective, the Citizen trusts in the inherent good of human beings to contribute positively to society.
What We Do
Entrepreneur
The Entrepreneur dreams up ideas and commits to turn them into reality. Known as an idea generator, the Entrepreneur is typically achievement oriented. This archetype presents as ambitious, self-assured and decisive, with strong desires to compete, obtain information and differentiate from the crowd. Behaviors stem from an “outside-in” perspective that seeks opportunities that can be satisfied, improved, or leveraged. The Entrepreneur does not take direction well, is fiercely independent and has been called “Type A” because of its adrenaline addiction.
What We Do
Hero
The Hero acts to redeem society by overcoming great odds in service to successfully completing extraordinary acts of strength, courage and goodness. The Hero is admired by those who appreciate the self-sacrifice, stamina and courage required to triumph over adversity and evil. As a continuous learner, the Hero seeks to understand the inner life force and fullest expression of self, while coping with difficulty, meeting strange fates and facing shifting challenges. The essence of the Hero lies in the sacrifice required to achieve the goal of transformation.
How We Do It
Care Giver
The one-word description for the Caregiver is altruism: the unselfish concern and/ or devotion to nurture and care for others. This archetype is motivated to provide reassurance, service, advice, listening and an open heart to support the welfare of others. The Caregiver is compassionate, generous, efficient, self-sacrificing, patient, highly competent and an excellent multitasker. Able to find the silver lining in any cloud, the Caregiver remains calm in a crisis, makes friends with everyone, and radiates the lightness of optimism.
