A firm's branding strategy is characterized by its breadth, referring to the number of products bearing the same brand name, and depth, referring to the number of brands in a product category. The choice of branding strategy depends on factors like corporate objectives, capabilities, consumer behavior, and competitive approaches. When developing a marketing strategy, the marketing manager should create a team, review the current situation, set objectives, plan actions, implement the strategy, and review the strategy. Branding strategies provide a foothold for successful competition by supporting strong brand identity, positioning, and key strategy decisions through quantitative research. Brand is an effective growth strategy because it is directed at customers and employees who continue to choose the brand.

8. Brand is the Best Growth Strategy

The easiest and most visible way to do that of course is to focus on
efficiency and cut costs.
This leads me to believe that the expectations of shareholders and
markets have a lot to answer for. Right now, too many of them are
hindering our public companies.
Actions rarely work in isolation, and efficiency-hunting alone is a cop-out.
It’s relatively easy to continue to find fault, to churn people, to
chop away at expenditure.

Companies need more balance, spending less time thinking about what
they can rationalize, less money on the consultants they pay to “lose
weight” and more time thinking about growing businesses that actually
appeal to customers.
Brand is an effective growth strategy because brand is the only stand-out
strategy directed at the people who matter – the people who work
for you and those who buy from you and continue to choose you.
