Modi has been seen as Gujarat’s Brand Ambassador. People share their experiences and stories that promote Gujarat as a brand. He
took right steps to brand himself outside Gujarat even before he decided to move beyond the state but the journey of branding Modi
was not easy.

Indian politicians have usually been arrogant about marketing themselves. They have also been difficult products to be branded. In
the recent elections many successful chief ministers like Nitish Kumar and J. Jayalalithaa did not venture out of their home states to
brand themselves, Modi did,and he ventured out with aggression. He made his aggression seem decisive and hence desirable.

BJP ran a 360 degree, full-fledged campaign that included mass media such as print, television, radio and outdoor, new media such as
online and social media, and events and on-ground activities, traditionally categorized as below-the-line. These included rallies and
other appearances, consumer touch points at tea stalls and much else. This helped Modi's transformation from a regional, right-wing

His strong presence and inability of
his political competitors to be
present in a similar way on social
media platform, shows the success
story of the Narendra Modi
campaign.
Keyword associated most with
Narendra Modi is Development
which fits in the strategy campaign
thus signalling the success of the
campaign.
The use of Narendra Modi brand by
his party BJP to score brownie points
on a national level showcasing him
and the talent in the party, the aims
of the campaign to cross market the
brand and associate this with the
party seem to get fulfilled.
Although being purely a state leader,
his immense popularity on a national
level can be pretty much attributed
to his digital marekting campaign.
Modi’s success of 2014 elections is based on three simple proposition: to turn people’s attention away from his early political history
to the more recent economic transformation of the state of Gujarat, to position him as the face of economic growth. The shift in
campaign strategy gave him the opportunity to build on the development-man image and help fade his strong Hindutva image.

8. Learning from Brand Narendra Modi
Thinker, Desire, Stability,
Hardwork = success
Risk Taker, Never looking
back, not apologetic,
self-made, strong,
efficient, and inspiring
individual.
Transforming obstacles
into opportunity.
Sheer commitment in
whatever he does
Successfully created an
impression of being a
sincere, credible and
committed leader.
Master strategist, Long
Term Planning & Clear
Focus
Commitment towards
development of welfare
society
Modi’s transition from a politician to a brand has been carefully charted out. The branding team effectively worked on transforming
the brand image from a strong Hindu nationalist to India’s most popular prime ministerial candidate. However, Modi did not discard
his Hindu hardliner image completely. He wore his saffron colours with pride but did not let it rule his conversation.
