...BRAND MANAGEMENT AND MARKETING RESEARCH UNIT (BMMRU) THE CHALLENGE OF FINANCIAL SERVICES BRANDING: MAJORING ON CATEGORY OR BRAND VALUES? Leslie de Chernatony and Fiona Harris August 2000 00/6 ISBN 0 7492 3535 7 Open University Business School, 2000 The Challenge of Financial Services Branding: Majoring on Category or Brand Values? THE CHALLENGE OF FINANCIAL SERVICES BRANDING: MAJORING ON CATEGORY OR BRAND VALUES Abstract Research suggests that emotional values are more sustainable than functional values. It is argued that in the services sector the key to sustainable brand differentiation is a unique set of emotional values. This paper examines the nature of financial services brands’ values and finds that they tend to focus on functional category values rather than unique emotional brand values. A lack of congruency between brand team members’ perceptions of their brands’ values and a lack of correspondence with their brands’ espoused values were also noted. Keywords: brand values, services brands, financial services 1. Introduction A brand is a multidimensional construct involving the blending of functional and emotional values to match consumers’ performance and psychosocial needs (de Chernatony and Dall’Olmo Riley, 1998). One of the goals of branding is to make a brand unique on dimensions that are both relevant and welcomed by consumers (de Chernatony and McDonald, 1998). One of the problems marketers face is going beyond the values that consumers...

...Employer brand denotes an organisation's reputation as an employer.[1] The term was first used in the early 1990s, and has since become widely adopted by the global management community.[2][3][4] Minchington (2005) defines employer brand as "the image of your organisation as a 'great place to work'". Employer branding is concerned with enhancing your company's employer brand.[2] Just as a customer brand proposition is used to define a product or service offer, an employee value proposition is used to define an organisation's employment offer. Likewise the marketing disciplines associated with branding and brand management have been increasingly applied by the human resources and talent management community to attract, engage and retain talented candidates and employees, in the same way that marketing applies such tools to attracting and retaining clients, customers and consumers. Contents 1 Origin 2 Employer branding 3 Employer brand management 4 Employer brand proposition 5 Employer branding and internal marketing 6 Brand-led culture change 7 References Origin The term "employer brand" was first publicly introduced to a management audience in 1990,[5] and defined by Simon Barrow, chairman of People in Business, and Tim Ambler, Senior Fellow of London Business School, in the Journal of Brand Management in December 1996.[6] This academic paper was the first published attempt to "test the application of brand management techniques to...

...Consumer Culture Theory, Consumer Agency and the Importance of Brands Summary of the Importance and Relevance of Topic Consumer Culture Theory (CCT) refers to the classification of a certain approach to studying consumers and the way that they consume. It was first coined in 2005 by Arnould and Thompson, and it specifically addresses the sociocultural, symbolic, experiential and ideological facets of consumption. Their work is the culmination of over a quarter century of research that treats consumer behaviour as a phenomenon worth studying. As we have come to develop the field of CCT, so too are we developing our understanding of the consumer, and the broader economy. The work of Arnould and Thompson has provided students of consumer behaviour with the necessary environment to debate, innovate and advance the field of study.1 CCT is important within the scope of consumer behaviour because it places a focus on meaning and identity creation; it delves deeper in the mentality that surrounds consumers in the marketplace, and an understanding of this mentality is useful to all that engage the market (buyers, sellers, producers, etc...). “CCT explores how consumers actively rework and transform symbolic meanings encodes in ads, brands, retail settings, or material goods to manifest their particular personal and social circumstances and lifestyle goals.”2 In understanding CCT, we understand the market in a broad sense, for example, acknowledging that marketing symbols are significant...
