Branding & Brand Management - Week1

Branding and Brand Management
What is a Brand?
A brand is a name, term, sign, symbol, or design which is intended to identify the goods or services of one seller or group of sellers and to differentiate them from those of competitors. (AMA)
Brand Definitions
A bundle of intrinsic and extrinsic offerings blending both functional and psychological benefits.
(Gardner and Levy 1955)
A successful brand is an identifiable product, service, person or place, augmented in such a way that the buyer or user perceives relevant unique added values which match their needs most closely. Furthermore, its success results from being able to sustain these added values in the face of competition.
De Chernatony and McDonald (1998)
