one seller's good or service as distinct from those of other sellers. Brands are

benefit of the brand's customers, its owners and shareholders.
It is the personality that identifies a product, service or company (name, term,
sign, symbol, or design, or combination of them) and how it relates to key
constituencies: customers, staff, partners, investors etc.

Eg.: Tesla
In the initial years of Tesla, it fails to meet its production target and fails to grab the attention of the
consumers. It was criticized for its electric vehicle. But with the efforts of the founder of Tesla, it
started performing well in the market.

Brand equity refers to a value premium that a company generates from a product with a recognizable
name when compared to a generic equivalent. A clear brand identity when reinforced over a period of
time in the customerâs mind to develop a high level of customer franchisee, leads to creation of brand
equity. When a company has positive brand equity, customers willingly pay a high price for its products,
even though they could get the same thing from a competitor for less.
The brand equity can be determined by measuring:
i. The price premium that the brand charges over unbranded products
ii. The additional volume of sales generated by the brand as compared to other brands in the same
category and/or segment.
iii. The share prices that the company commands in the market (particularly if the brand name is the
same as the corporate name, or customers can easily associate the performance of all the individual
brands of the company with the financial performance of the corporate)
iv. Returns to shareholders
v. The image of the brand on various parameters that are deemed important
vi. The future earnings potential of the brand.
vii. Or a combination of the above methods.

David Aaker has defined brand equity in his Aaker Model. He defines brand equity as a group of assets and
liabilities that can be directly associated with the brand and that which adds value to the product. For
Aaker, brand management starts with developing a brand identity, which is a unique set of brand associations
representing what the brand stands for and offers to customers an aspiring brand image.
Aaker model consists of 5 components:
Brand Loyalty
This explains the level of loyalty that a customer shows towards a brand
Brand Awareness
This is the extent to which the brand is popular in the market
Perceived Quality
The image of a product and its quality in the eyes of the customers
Brand Associations
The level of recognition that a brand has in its product category
Proprietary Assets
The number of patents, intellectual property rights, trademarks, etc. that a brand owns.
These components of the Aaker model help to influence the customerâs choice. A customer will be willing to
associate with a brand that offers higher quality and satisfaction.

Kellerâs Brand equity model is also known as the CBBE model which stands for Customer based brand equity. The CBBE
model or the Brand equity pyramid is actually a pyramid which tells us how to build brand equity by understanding your
customers and implementing strategies accordingly. If there is a connection between the brand and the consumer, it
results in positive brand equity & has a better chance of acquiring and sustaining customers, thereby giving a huge
advantage to the companies and products which are considered as âbrandsâ.
By using the Brand equity pyramid or the CBBE model, brands know which strategies to implement and how to give the
right experiences to their audience so that they create the WOW factor.
THE KELLER MODEL HAS 4 LEVELS :
1. SALIENCE
This level of the pyramid deals with establishing the identity of the brand. Keller suggests a single building block for this
phase and terms it brand salience.
To attain this level Keller suggests brand awareness , knowing the customers-their needs , wants, segmentation , USP of
the brand.
2. PERFORMANCE AND IMAGERY
The second layer of the pyramid deals with giving meaning to the brand and here Keller presents two building
blocks: brand performance and brand imagery.
Brand performance is the way the product or service attempts to meet the consumerâs functional needs. Brand
performance also has a major influence on how consumers experience a brand as well as what the brand owner and
others say about the brand.
Priyanka Malhotra Unit 3
Kellerâs Brand Equity Models
41. 3. JUDGEMENT AND FEELING
Judgments about a brand emerge from a consumer pulling together different performance and imagery associations. These judgments
combine into a consumerâs opinion of a brand and whilst there are multiple judgments that an individual can make.
Judgments can be made about :
1.Quality : Actual and perceived ,
2.Creditability : The extent to which the brand is perceived as having expertise, being trustworthy and likable .
3.Consideration :Brand must be unique, relevant to the consumer so that they are likely to purchase or use it.
4.Superiority : Specialisation in brand.
Brand must have positive feelings : Warmth , Excitement , Security , Social approval and self respect.
4. RESONANCE
â˘Resonance is characterized by the intensity of the psychological bond that customers have with the brand and their level of engagement with
the brand.
â˘The challenge for the brand manager and strategist is to develop the bond and increase the number of interactions (repeat purchases of a
product or service) through the development of marketing programmes that fully satisfy all the customersâ needs, provides them with a sense
of community built around the brand and even empowers them to act as brand champions.
â˘To attain this final level a brand needs :behavioural loyalty, attitudinal attachment , sense of community, active engagement.

New Brand
The Brand Vitality and Brand Stature are both low. The new product or service may already be distinctive, but not yet known to
consumers. Marketing is required to get the brand in the minds of consumers and to convince them to give the new product a
try.
Development Brand
The Brand Vitality is high and the Brand Stature is low. The brand is distinctive enough with regard to competitors, but more
awareness needs to be generated. This is done through promotional activities and information transfer.
Brand Asset Valuator and Brand Leadership
The Brand Vitality and Brand Stature are both high, which means the highest goal has been achieved. One can speak of a top
brand that is popular among consumers and has significant sales. It is wise for companies to do all they can to maintain this
status. A name change isnât a good idea here, and neither is a rigorous change of the product or service. After all, the customer
relies on the brand.
Brand Loss
The Brand Vitality and Brand Stature are both low. This may be due to various factors. Changes in the environment, new
developments and trends, and scandals and negative publicity; they can all bring a brand to the edge of the abyss. Competitors
have taken over the market and the organisation will have difficulty returning to their previous position.
Brand Asset Valuator and Loyalty
Using the Brand Asset Valuator (BAV), one can give an indication of a brandâs market position. Organisations can create their
brand policy by analysing the environment and implementing an appropriate strategy. For example, the brand name can further
be expanded upon by means of a marketing campaign, improving the market position even further.

48. This case is about the branding strategy that global toy manufacturing company LEGO Group adopted to restore its brand image
and expand its outreach among consumers across the world. As a distinct player, LEGO followed a brand strategy which was
disruptive, innovative, market-changing, and category-killing. Started with the vision of âInventing the future of play,â LEGO
catered to the growing demands of its consumers through timely product expansion and diversification. However, it failed
to address its core customers and neglected its core business in the wake of a mindless brand expansion strategy that
resulted in losses to the company and deterioration in its brand reputation for some time. To revive the company and
rejuvenate its brand, LEGO appointed Jorgen Vig Knudstorp as its CEO. Knudstorp undertook a rebranding plan that focused
on âestablishing operational and financial control as well as stability.â The rebranding strategy enabled LEGO to reach the
milestone of mainstreaming sustainability with its core business that focused on its core product, the LEGO bricks. Going
forward, LEGO faced the challenge of protecting its original brand and creating toys that lived up to the expectation of the
rapidly growing digital world.
1. Study and analyze how LEGO became a powerful brand.
