...Branding Strategy: Building Strong Brands Some analysts see brands as the enduring asset of a company, outlasting the company’s products and facilities. Brands are powerful assets that must be carefully developed and managed. Here are some key strategies for building and managing brands. Brand Equity: Brand equity is the differential effect that knowing the brand name has on customer response to the product and its marketing. It’s a measure of the brand’s ability to capture consumer preference and loyalty. A brand has positive brand equity when consumers react more favorably to it than to a generic or unbranded version of the same product. It has negative brand equity if consumers react less favorably than to an unbranded version. High brand equity provides a company with many competitive advantages. A powerful brand enjoys a high level of consumer brand awareness and loyalty. Because the brand name carries high credibility, the company can more easily launch line and brand extensions. A powerful brand offers the company some defense against fierce price competition. Building Strong Brands: Branding poses challenging decisions to the marketer. The major brand strategy decisions involve brand positioning, brand name selection, brand sponsorship, and brand development. • Brand Positioning: Marketers need to position their brands clearly in target customers’ minds. Positioning refers to the act of designing the company’s offering and image in such...

...Assignment 4 1. Branding Strategy Option c would be the best branding strategy to introduce our new product. We came to the idea to extend the brand Heineken Pilsner, because there is a gap created in the market due to the government regulation which rises the age-limit for drinking alcohol from 16 to 18 years old. Later on we decided that we want Heineken Energy to become the new market leader in energy drinks. The reason we chose Heineken as a brand is that it has a high Customer-Based Brand Equity (CBBE). This can be explained by the five A’s of CBBE; awareness, associations, attitudes, attachment and activity. By analyzing the brand elements of Heineken it becomes clear why we choose to pick Heineken as our main brand. The brand name, the logo and the packaging are currently memorized to a great extend by customers. Most people perceive Heineken Pilsner as one of the best tasting beers in the world and on top of that it gives people a strong community feeling while drinking Heineken, which other brands are not able to create. This gives Heineken deep brand awareness, because people definitely think of a Heineken Pilsner on various occasions. For instance when they watch football games, when they go to a club or café, when they are having a birthday, so at almost every possible type of leisure activity. The associations with Heineken are very strong; the beer is exactly how customers want it to be and its unique characteristics make people drink the beer. Due to...

...identifies one’s firm product(s) and sets it apart from the competition.” Companies depend on their products being identified and purchased by consumers by way of these brandings. When deciding upon a name, brand our symbol the company has to make sure that it is memorable, easy to say and recognizable to the consumer. Companies first use the “easy” test; easy on the eye, easy to say, easy to remember and easy to read. Prym Consumer USA Inc., (formerly Dritz), a sewing notions and craft company located in South Carolina. Prym Consumer is the largest manufacturer and distributor in the United States and has been for 400 hundred years. Originally, the company sold all their notions and tools under one name or brand, if you will. It was known and recognized all over the country by all those who sew, quilt, and craft. As the years went by, sewing and quilting underwent a slow period and notions did not sell as well as expected. In the past fifteen years or so, crafting along with sewing and quilting has become one of the most popular hobbies and pastimes outside of paper crafting. As the needs grew, so did Dritz. Later, they change the name due to the changes, needs and market of their consumers. They now sell with other brand names, all created by one company. The strategies used by the company were individual, family, store and national brand. The Prym/Dritz name is a registered and licensed trademark. There are several other...

...1. Introduction Brands are more than just names and symbols. Brand represents consumers’ perceptions and feelings about a product and its performance-everything that the product or service means to consumers. The real value of a strong brand is its power to capture consumer preference and loyalty. In a cluttered, competitive market place, the brand elements that make up the brand will have to do more and more of the selling job. In a time- compressed marketing world the fact that brand name can be noticed and its meaning registered or activated in memory within just a few seconds is a tremendous asset and provide a firm with a strong competitive advantage. Mutual Trust Bank Ltd. is the leading multinational bank in this country. To maintain its leading position in the Bangladesh, Mutual Trust Bank Ltd. is always keen to develop long-term beneficial relationship with trustworthy clients. The ability of Mutual Trust Bank Ltd. to establish itself as a successful bank and the creation of a strong brand image is because of the high quality service it provides to its customers. ‘Brand is the "name, term, design, symbol, or any other feature that identifies one seller's product distinct from those of other sellers" A modern example of a brand is Coca Cola which belongs to the Coca-Cola Company’. ‘Brand image is the current view of the customers about a brand. It can be defined as a unique bundle of associations within the minds of target customers. It signifies what the brand presently...

...STARBUCKS BRANDING STRATEGY Presented By: Tanveer Ahmad Beigh Roll. No. 217 MBA The Business School Starbucks Corp., the world’s biggest coffee retailer, unveiled a new logo that drops the words, "Starbucks" and the "Coffee" , from their well-known green coloring encircling the iconic sea nymph at its centre. This is the fourth version of the logo since the company's beginnings as a small coffee shop in Seattle in 1971. Those prior versions of the logo helped build Starbucks into one of the world's best-recognized brands, and the company now feels it no longer needs to reinforce its name at every turn. Starbucks plans to bring the logo to stores in March on its 40th anniversary. No sooner the plans of the company to alter its logo have been announced, there has been a lot of ballyhoo on the various media regarding this change. The main reason for removing the company name from the logo is, according to Schultz (CEO of Starbucks), to free the mermaid – this is supposed to represent the firm’s ability to free themselves from the coffee market. The name ‘Starbucks coffee’ confines the market of the company to drinks and thus limits their growth potential. Let us consider the benefits of this branding strategy by Starbucks. As the change in the branding is the removal its verbal part, it removes a language barrier. Starbucks started...

...A brand orientation typology for SMEs: a case research approach Ho Yin Wong and Bill Merrilees Department of Marketing, Griffith Business School, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Australia Purpose – This research paper aims to discuss the role of branding strategy in small and medium size enterprises (SMEs). Design/methodology/approach – The literature on traditional brand management and strategic branding are first reviewed. Four critical constructs are identified, namely brand distinctiveness, brand orientation, brand-marketing performance and brand barriers. The literature, in combination with (eight) case research interviews, has been synthesised to develop a new theory of SME branding. Findings – The paper reveals that the theory identifies the ladder of SME brand orientation, moving from minimal brand orientation, to embryonic brand orientation to integrated brand orientation. Further, it is suggested that most SMEs will be on the lower steps of the ladder. A model of the brand strategy process has been formulated, specifying links between brand barriers, brand distinctiveness, brand orientation and brand-marketing performance. The study puts forward some propositions about the pre-conditions to move higher up the ladder, particularly to an integrated brand orientation. Research limitations/implications – The major limitation of this research is that it is based on eight case studies. It is suggested that a quantitative survey be carried out to enhance the generalisability...

The ongoing academic debate has pointed out the tension between standardization and localization practices (e.g. Whatley, 2012). While the benefits frequently associated with the standardization practice revolve around the promotion of a single consistent message to the global market (Aaker, 1991), the localization paradigm emphasises the particular differences between individual markets and thereby the need to adapt marketing strategies to suit the needs of the local population (Gillespie, Jeanner & Hennessey, 2010). The aim of the presented paper is to critically investigate the promotion and branding strategies pursued by global organisations. The key focus is put on the examination of their relative effectiveness and two case studies are used to demonstrate the validity of the theoretical...

...Branding Strategy.... Building brand equity. “The branding strategy is creates strong brand values which have resonance with the customer and are relevant for the extent of the customers life cycle.” Learning objectives The first step in implementing a branding strategy is to understand the risk involved in the different strategies. After that, we will explore the implications of the different strategies on adding new products and incorporating acquired brands into the portfolio. After the lessons the student should be able to: • Understand the level of risk associated with the different branding strategies. • Understand what generates risk to the brand. • Identify which branding strategies are appropriate to the various segmentation plans. • Understand understanding how a company can avoid dilution of the brand as the product group grows. Brand equity The marketing goal is fulfilled when the brand equity is maximized. As in all matters relating to the concept of equity, there is a balance between risk and return. The choice between different branding strategies means balancing the expected return. A strategy with commonly yields high brand equity is usually associated with a significantly higher risk that the brand can be damaged when there are problems with any products carrying the brand. The brand equity should be seen as the accumulated value of all brands in the company portfolio. Different branding strategies are associated...
