of the brand element. Eg; Nano is a brand which has similar
meaning across different geographical markets.

synonymous with product categories such as Xerox, Fiberglass

matching these marketing activities to maximize their
individual and collective effects. So that, marketers
need a variety of different marketing activities that
consistently reinforce the brand promise.

marketing program of Johnson & Johnson has become one
of the most popular brands in Indian and South Asian
markets.
