Belonging
We can live together in harmony. To appeal to an Everyman you need to make them feel a sense of belonging. Brands that revolve around everyday activities might use this archetype with the message that it’s ok to be normal.Home or family life brands fit this archetype perfectly while elitist positioning or “we’re better” messaging would be a turn-off. Appealing to an Everyman requires honest, humble, friendly and down to earth communication that doesn’t exclude.

Competitors who constantly use industry jargon (in an effort to appear knowledgeable) are also easy to target. You should have no frills and no bull.
