Brands like Coca-Cola and Mac Donald’s (Food) apple (communication), Toyota (Transportation) etc. Innovative and technological product are the brands that are mostly at the top, highly innovative products who are also committed to a sustainable drive are seen growing from the bottom spot also. The top five spot remained unchanged from 2013 to 2014.

...Contributions of Internal Branding Practices to Corporate Brand Success Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate how internal branding practices can contribute to successful corporate brand building. The thesis is based on a case study of the successful Swedish brands Saab AB, SAS Sverige and Skanska. The results show that core values are a main building block of internal branding practices and that core values are united with cultural values with a dual purpose of adding value to customers and guiding employee behavior. Furthermore, the results point out that core values internally indicate how the vision is to be achieved and that the vision may be more useful as a management tool than internal branding tool. Subcultures appear to be present in all three cases and the results suggest that corporate brands are strengthened by internalizing a main corporate culture which allows cultural interpretations within subcultures and by assuring that subcultures co-exist in harmony. Internal communication seems to support corporate and internal branding by applying a pull-principle in communications, creating forums for personal interaction and facilitating employees’ information search and processing. In terms of human resourcecontributions to brand building, practices such as recruitment, phasing in of new employees, internalization of core values among current employees and internal brand evaluations are put forward. Moreover, two additional concepts of importance in...

...Insight paper Does your employer brand inspire top talent? Jumping on the employer branding bandwagon A strong brand can be a company’s most valuable asset, increasing customer loyalty or acting as a differentiator in a crowded market place. An employer brand can be used for similar effects, lowering turnover due to higher employee loyalty and helping employers stick out in the increasingly competitive job market. Despite the hype about employer branding, most companies still have difficulty in conceiving a serious and ‘thoughtthrough’ approach to the topic. To understand why an employer brand cannot be simply assembled out of a ‘how-to’ guide, let’s have a look at the definition of employer branding. There are dozens of definitions about employer branding flying around in the HR industry and most are perfectly usable. However, we will stick to the CIPD’s definition (Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, 2008)1: An employer brand is a set of attributes and qualities – often intangible – that makes an organisation distinctive, promises a particular kind of employment experience, and appeals to those people who will thrive and perform to their best in its culture. Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development In the above definition there is one important word: ‘intangible’. Employer branding is indeed a complex mix between your organisational identity and culture and its members (Tikoo, 2004)2, which is probably the reason why so many...

...of Marketing Lecturer: Tracy Gallagher Assignment: Branding Executive summary In this paper, the author will critically discuss the role of branding plays in a globalisation economy; this will be done by identifying the roles and describing them. The paper will also examine how marketers build brand equality using two case studies to illustrate theory This research will be done by drawing on relevant theoretical models; recent international case studies and reflects on the writings of academic writers and so on. Based on the evidence found when researching this paper, theorists Branding Branding is a differentiation of a product which helps in adding value to them. It helps companies to distinguish their products from those that are on the market. An example of this is if Penny’s stores was to have in store Brown Thomas products, customers would expect those products to be less expensive and of the lowest quality, the same goes for if Brown Tomas was to display a product from Penny’s, consumers would regard the product as expensive and of high quality, this is so because of the belief that consumers have for a particular brand. Brassington & Pettitt (2006) defined branding as a way of linking together items within a product line or emphasising the individuality of product items by making them easily identifiable. However Jobber and Fahy (2006) give a more detailed definition of branding where they go on and say branding is a process whereby company’s use to differentiate...

...Brand is the "name, term, design, symbol, or any other feature that identifies one seller's product distinct from those of other sellers."[1] Brands are used in business, marketing, and advertising. Initially, livestock branding was adopted to differentiate one person's cattle from another's by means of a distinctive symbol burned into the animal's skin with a hot branding iron. A modern example of a brand is Coca Cola which belongs to the Coca-Cola Company. In accounting, a brand defined as an intangible asset is often the most valuable asset on a corporation's balance sheet. Brand owners manage their brands carefully to create shareholder value, and brand valuation is an important management technique that ascribes a money value to a brand, and allows marketing investment to be managed (e.g.: prioritized across a portfolio of brands) to maximize shareholder value. Although only acquired brands appear on a company's balance sheet, the notion of putting a value on a brand forces marketing leaders to be focused on long term stewardship of the brand and managing for value. The word "brand" is often used as a metonym referring to the company that is strongly identified with a brand. Marque or make are often used to denote a brand of motor vehicle, which may be distinguished from a car model. A concept brand is a brand that is associated with an abstract concept, likebreast cancer awareness or environmentalism, rather than a specific product, service, or business. A commodity brand is...

...SPORTS MARKETING AND BRAND BUILDING Marketing Management - II Prof. Sanjay Patro Section C - Group 5 George Antony B13148 Mayank Siotia B13156 Vijender Kaur B13180 SPORTS MARKETING AND BRAND BUILDING An Introduction Not that long ago, a company that wanted to reach 20 million young Americans could do it easily—place an ad on Friends on Thursday night. With the proliferation of media types and channels, though, such large and predictable audiences are few and far between. Among all the media touch points, for example, cable has the highest share—34 percent—and of course cable audiences are highly fragmented. Broadcast television gets only 20 percent. Getting people’s attention at all is difficult enough; getting them to pay attention is well-nigh impossible. Sports is the exception. Because it is live, and because there is so much free publicity around major events— everything from water-cooler gossip to blogs to newspapers—sports breaks through the static. It is one of the few areas (music and fashion are others), where people are admittedly passionate. In that passion is opportunity for marketers. Because fans are already invested in the event or their team— think how insufferable New York Yankee or Manchester United fans can be—companies can tap into these emotions to connect with consumers and build an emotional bond with them. And because sports are best watched live, it’s harder to skip the ads, as Tivo- or DVR equipped viewers increasingly do. To begin with,...

Developing a strong brand that would be able to put the company away from another business is a very critical job. It will depend on who the client are .It is also determined by how the company will develop and introduce their brand. A brand is means a name, symbol, or design, or any mark to identify different goods and services of a seller or group of sellers. “According to Walter Landor, founder of the Landor Associates, the world’s leading brand consulting firm; a brand is a promise that the company will provide satisfaction and quality.” In B2B branding, the focus is on how to make a strong relationship with the prospective client in order to make their brand as the top choice of the public or market To be able to do this, the brand is built to be very strong and the personal relationships with the customer must the top priority so that there will be a good output.

Lundquist 2010 Employer Branding Questionnaire Employer branding moves online Questionnaire results from more than 400 respondents show that 95% of job seekers use corporate websites before deciding whether to apply for a job. The questionnaire is part of research to rank the online employer branding of the 100 best global brands. Milan, 4 August 2010 – Attracting and retaining the best talent, the core scope of employer branding, has always been one of the main preoccupations of managers operating in boom times as well as in what has been called the Great Recession. Employer branding used to be exclusively an offline activity practiced in many ways including through job fairs, advertising, marketing and internal newsletters. Companies are still passing on the same type of information to current and prospective employees only now they are increasingly doing it through their website. Employer branding is a company’s pitch to current and prospective employees. It is the company’s bid to show why it is a desirable place to work. Good online employer branding is a key step in the drive to getting and keeping top employees, but how should companies confront the process? Job seekers are using the internet, that we know, but how much and what are they looking for? In this age of social networks and job sites that aggregate employment announcements how much does the corporate website matter? When evaluating...

...How to build a strong employer brand? In the competitive business world, companies strive to protect their most precious asset, talent. Talent shortage is a major challenge across industries where employees with suitable technical competencies and qualities are difficult to obtain and retain in the competitive employment market. In addition, as Baby Boomers who possess substantial valuable experience for the companies retire, Generation Y became increasingly vital in the company’s workforce; study has shown that 1 in 5 worker will be above 55 years of age by 2021 compared with 1 in 7 in the year 2005. Companies not only struggle to replace the positions of the retired workforce with younger candidates with similar capabilities, they also realize that the two generations have different workplace expectations and values. Candidates are looking beyond the basic wage and benefits; factors such as career prospect, reputation, international mobility and company values also play a significant role in candidate decisions. Therefore companies need to adjust their conventional hiring method to position themselves strategically in order to capture the awareness and commitment of the top candidates. In order to attract and retain young talents, companies need to differentiate themselves from their competitors with their employer brand. Unlike product brand names that can be managed with marketing to manipulate consumer perception, employer brand needs to be cultivated through time...
