humanizers

Those who personalize

Humanizers are things that make something seem more human, relatable, or sympathetic.

A politician's self-deprecating joke serves as a humanizer, softening an otherwise distant image.

In medicine, humanizers are agents that modify biological products to be more compatible with human physiology.

The word often appears in discussions of branding, storytelling, or public relations: Personal anecdotes are great humanizers.
