Branding Management

What is the brand


FIRST
A brand is not a logo.
SECOND
FINALL
Y
A brand is not a product.
So what exactly is a brand?
A BRAND IS A PERSONS
GUT FEELING ABOUT A
PRODUCT, SERVICE, OR
ORGANIZATION.
It is a PERSONS gut
feeling, because brands
are defined by
individuals, not
companies, markets, or
publics.
ITS NOT WHAT YOU SAY IT IS.
ITS WHAT THEY SAY IT IS.
WHY IS BRANDING SO HOT?
People have too
many choices and
too little time
We tend to base
our buying choices
on trust
Most offerings have
similar quality and
features
What is a Brand?
Brand is the sellers promise to
deliver the same bundle of
benefits/services consistently
to buyers.
A product is any offering by a
company to a market that serves
to satisfy customer needs and
wants. A product can be an
object, service, idea, etc.
On the other hand a name becomes a
brand when consumers associate it with a
set of tangible and intangible benefits that
they obtain from the product or service.
Brands are not
the same as
Products.
Brand name selecting
process may you find
trivial but it is not.
Some brand names
are so good that
contribute to the
success of product.

Brand differences are
often related to
attributes or benefits of
product itself.

Why do Brands Matter?
The main reason
consumers flock to
some brands and
ignore others is that
behind the brand
stands an unspoken
promise of value.
Brands have become
important drivers of
growth for any
organization, good
or service.
A brand helps make
a mark and
differentiate a good
or service from
others in
marketplace.
A strong brand
makes people
aware of what
the company
represents and
about the
different
offerings of the
company.
Brands help
customers to
connect to the
product or
service on an
emotional level.
A Brand is a
promise that the
product will
perform as per
customers
expectations.

Brand Architecture
It is the structure and organization of brands.





















Breadth of Product Mix: Three factors determine the inherent attractiveness of a product
category:
1. Aggregate market factors
2. Category factors
3. Environmental factors
Depth of Product Mix: An important rule to remember to decide the depth of the product
mix is: A product line is too short if the manager can increase long-term profits by adding
items; the line is too long if the manager can increase profits by dropping items.
Breadth of a Branding Strategy
Flankers: Flanker brands are used to create stronger points of parity with
competitors brands.
Cash Cows: In firms, there are some brands that retain loyal customers and
generate healthy profits with virtually no market support.
Low-end Entry-level / High-end Prestige Brands: The first category low-end entry-
level are called traffic builders and they are able to trade up customers to the

Brand Hierarchy
Brand Hierarchy
It is a means of summarizing the branding strategy by displaying the number and nature of common and
distinctive brand elements across the firms products. It helps to reveal the explicit ordering of brand
elements.


















A simple representation of possible brand elements and thus, potential levels of a brand
hierarchy might be as follows:
1. Corporate brand e.g. Chrysler-Daimler
2. Family brand e.g. Mercedes-Benz
3. Individual Brand e.g. 1000 SEL
4. Modifier (designating item or model) LX / VX

marketing activities, the brand awareness and image, as
well as the customer response to current marketing
activities and to predict the response to future activities.

Points of Parity and Difference
The process of creating a brand strategy begins with a brand audit and ends with
a plan for executing the brand across all touch points. It can be generally thought
of as having three stages..
Insights Examples
Mastercard Priceless campaign
What we found was that people buy things because of how those
things make them feel So the idea is that the item allows you to get
to some other place in your life that makes you feel good.

National Youth Anti-Drug Program Above the
Influence campaign
We wanted to elevate the conversation to make it more pro-me
than anti-drug. We know teens are very sensitive to influences,
positive and negative, from peers and the media. Thats why we
positioned it so teens would see influence as the enemy and
marijuana as one of the influences that gets in their way. Its a way of
empowering them so they can stand on their own at a key moment
of choice seeing that they could be above the influence.

Brand Equity Pyramid
The model was developed by Kevin Keller, professor
of brand strategy at Dartmouth, based on his
Customer Based Brand Equity Model (CBBE). Keller
is the author of two definitive texts on brand
building. The pyramid is just one of 4-5 leading
representations of the components of brand equity.
Other models include Y&Rs Brand Asset Valuator,
Millward Browns BrandDynamics model, etc. While
each model has its adherents, upon closer scrutiny,
they are all very similar in their content and purpose.
Whichever is selected, what is important is that it
provide a shared basis for understanding what is
meant by brand equity and how this construct
applies to your brand.

Brand Equity Concept
Brand Equity
Customer-
based
Market -
based
Brand Equity is the value, both tangible and intangible,
that a brand adds to a product/service; the added
value a brand name identity brings to a product or
service beyond the functional benefits provided.
The customer based brand equity
focuses exclusively on the
relationship customers have with the
brand
The market based brand
equity aims at producing
measures in dollars, euros or
yen.
The concept of brand equity is measured in
two terms:

Brand Equity Concept
You can see that when a
commodity becomes a
brand, it is said to have
equity. Brand equity is the
premium a brand can
command in the market
or the difference
between the perceived
value and the intrinsic
value.
Brand equity can be
thought of as the "added
value" endowed to a
product in the thoughts,
words, and actions of
consumers. There are
many different ways that
this added value can be
created for a brand.
Therefore, it is important
that Brand Equity should
be nourished and
replenished.
Brand Equity Concept
Companies must take
care of its brands so that
the brand equity is not
diluted or dissipated.
A few examples of
products with excellent
brand equity include
Google, Nike and
Starbucks.
Let us now look at the
process of building
brands.
