The Fundamental Need or Want


CORE BENEFIT that consumers satisfy by
consuming the product or service
What is a Brand?
Not simply a product -- anything offered to a market for
attention, acquisition, use, or consumption that might
satisfy a need or want.
A product can be:
Physical good
Service
Retail Store
Person
Organization
Place
Idea
What is a Brand?
Product = Commodity
A product is a produced item always
possessing these characteristics:
Tangibility
Attributes and Features

Brand = Mind Set


The sum of all communications and experiences received
by the consumer and customer resulting in a distinctive
image in their mind set based on perceived emotional
and functional benefits.

Timothy D. Ennis, Ennis Associates, Inc


What is a Brand?
Derivation
Old Norse brandr = to burn
branding livestock
Heritage
A means to distinguish goods from one producer vs another.
AMA (technical definition)
Name, term, sign, symbol, or design, or a combination of
them, intended to identify the goods and services of one
seller or group of sellers and to differentiate them from
those of competition
What is a Brand?
AMA defines a brand vs a Brand.
What does the AMA definition leave out?
What is a Brand?
Kellers Definition:
A product, but one that adds other dimensions that
differentiate it in some way from other products
designed to satisfy the same need.
Rational and tangible
Symbolic, emotional and intangible

The psychological response to a brand can be as


important as the physiological response.

What is a Brand?
Products dont exist in a void
They are bought because consumers have
found something they relate to in them,
something which they value
Brand = Credible Guarantee
What is a Brand?
Relative Brand Distinction
The more distinctive or different a brand is in
the consumers mind set, the stronger brand
preference becomes. This is critical to keeping
competition from the consumers consideration.

overarching family brands (Nestle)
NOW applies to entire companies that rally
around a single brand identity
Focus on entire value proposition rather than a
single products functionality
Branding the Corporation
Brands are not just products but companies:
Ford
IBM
Sony
Why has marketing refocused efforts on the
potential of corporate brands?
Branding the Corporation
Cost of creating and supporting product
brands has become prohibitive
$1Bil to develop a brand across US, EC, FE
Increasing retailer power
Traditional brand management not as
effective/efficient
Focus moving up the value chain
Brand Relationship Spectrum

What Might be Some of the Difficulties?
Led from the top. CEOs are difficult to pin
down for day-to-day brand management
Business Directors often have finance or

Branding
Pretty much everything today can be seen in
relation to a love-respect axis. You can plot any
relationship with a person, with a brand by
whether its based on love or based on respect. It
used to be that a high respect rating would win.
But these days, a high love rating wins. If I dont
love what youre offering me, Im not even
interested.
