Jester Archetype

Playful and spontaneous, the Jester smile will make any day a little brighter.

Laugh and the world will laugh with you.

Whether it’s a Fortune 100 or your mom and pop deli down the street, the Jester Archetype is present in cultures that do and give so others can have fun.

Innovative and outspoken, Jesters are the first to suggest a cocktail after a hard day. Their fun-loving attitudes make people say, “Hey, I want to hang out with them!” As a service provider, they help us all take the pain out of life’s hardest moments.

Sometimes, though, jokes aren’t funny. Laughing isn’t always appropriate and the “funny guy” in the room may not be perceived as the smartest. Even the Jester may need a reminder to work on timing.
