...2013 Brand Audit: Casuarina Curry By Ashwin Joseph Ashwin Zenev Jerome Balaji Balakrishnan Madhumita Srinivasan 12772487 12774782 12770282 12772343 Submitted To : Dr. Lisa Tombalabkian EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Extant branding literature holds that, strong brands evoke brand associations that are differentiated readily from direct competitors. Additionally, brand theory asserts that the most powerful and enduring consumer-based brand associations deal with the intangible or abstract characteristics of the product or service, rather than its functional or tangible attributes. To be able to understand why and how consumers evaluate Casuarina Curry as a brand, we need a deeper understanding of the brand associations consumers develop when they use or come into contact with the brand, because brand equity is greatly influenced by the associations consumers develop. The purpose of this Brand Audit was to develop a better understanding of the meaning of Casuarina Curry as a restaurant brand. To achieve its purpose, a multi-method research was designed to: (1) explore and examine brand associations and awareness of Casuarina Curry as described by consumers, and (2) understand the extent to which the identified dimensions of Casuarina Curry play a role in the performance of the Casuarina Curry brand. To effectively build the Brand Inventory, we interviewed the Director of Casuarina Curry.Through a customer survey, analysis results indicated that: Casuarina Curry had High Brand Awareness...

...of what encompasses a brand, two theories that can be applied in the assessing the effectiveness of a brand, and the application of these two theories in the critical analysis of a branded event with examples given. The aim is to recognize the significance and great importance placed on branding, in relevance to its effects on the creation of value for consumers, and the success of the associated business.
