Brand management is the analysis and planning on how that brand is perceived in the market. Developing a good relationship with the target market is essential for brand management. Tangible elements of brand management include the product itself; look, price, the packaging, etc. The intangible elements are the experience that the consumer has had with the brand, and also the relationship that they have with that brand.Brand management is a function of marketing that uses special techniques in order to increase the perceived value of a product
“A ‘brand’ is not a thing, a product, a company or an organization. A brand does not exist in the physical world – it is a mental construct. A brand can best be described as the sum total of all human experiences, perceptions and feelings about a particular thing, product or organization. Brands exist in the consciousness – of individuals and of the public.” – James R. Gregory, “Leveraging the Corporate Brand”
Brand elements and brand identity are often used next to each other to identify the brand, to enhance brand awareness and to facilitate unique brand associations which ultimately should differentiate the brand (Keller, 2006:140). Conventional brand elements form the visual identity of a brand, a logo, a name, a slogan and brand stories can be addressed as the key elements.

Branding is an often under-utilized tool in the small business owner's tool belt. The methods used to choose and build the brand are not clearly understood leaving a huge marketing opportunity untapped.
Small Business Owners will learn to choose, build and protect the brands they use for their business, products and services. A company's brand can become a very valuable asset if the business chooses it properly and consistently builds it.
- Choosing your names and brands
- Methods for building and using the brand
- How to protect your brands
Brands are different from products in a way that brands are “what the consumers buy”, while products are “what concern/companies make”. Brand is an accumulation of emotional and functional associations. Brand is a promise that the product will perform as per customer’s expectations. It shapes customer’s expectations about the product. Brands usually have a trademark which protects them from use by others. A brand gives particular information about the organization, good or service, differentiating it from others in marketplace. Brand carries an assurance about the characteristics that make the product or service unique. A strong brand is a means of making people aware of what the company represents and what are it’s offerings.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

1. Choosing Brand Elements to Build Brand Equity:
Options and Tactics for Brand Elements
Criteria for Choosing Brand Elements
What embodies the "perfect brand"? Is there such a thing? As simple as some brands might appear, there was a lot of research done to
come to a consensus and be satisfied with the end result of any brand element.
2. Brand Element Options to
Build Brand Equity
• What is Pepsi? What is Coke?
• Combine company goals & strategies to identify best elements
• Brand elements help:
– Enhance brand awareness
– Enhance associations
– Encourage positive emotions & feelings
There are many branding theories and concepts discussed by Kevin Keller in Strategic Brand Management: Building, Measuring and Managing
Brand Equity. I am currently using the third edition. If you want to explore more of his work or others I will be discussing, there will be a reference
section at the end of this presentation.
There are several options for brands to explore in order to build brand equity. Brand elements are implemented to help set apart one brand from
its competitor. What separates Coca-Cola from Pepsi, if we are not looking at the products themselves? What does "Coke" actually mean? How
did they come up with Pepsi? These questions often come up with consumers weary but eager to try new products and brands for the first time.
Using a combination of the goals and strategies of the company, brand elements help to enhance not only brand awareness and associations
people make, but also encourage positive emotions and feelings about the brand. We will explore the different options for choosing these brand
elements that can help foster the brand's power in its respective industry.
3. Different Brand Elements
• "Products are produced in the factory, but brands are produced
in the minds of the consumer.” - Walter Landor
• Different Brand Elements include:
– Brand names
– Logos & Symbols
– Characters & Celebrity/Athlete Endorsements
– Slogans
– Jingles
– Packaging of Brands
Walter Landor, a famous pioneer in branding and consumer research techniques that was quoted saying, "Products are produced in the factory,
but brands are produced in the minds of the consumer." Regardless of what the product or service does, if there is not a strong marketing and
branding foundation, the brand and everything that is associated with it can be in critical danger (Zaichkowsky, 2010, pg. 2). We will be looking
at different brand elements that can help to build brand equity over time.
We will explore brand names, URLs, Logos and symbols, characters and celebrity/athlete endorsements, slogans, jingles, and packaging of
brands. The understanding of the meanings of these brand elements are critical to a brands overall success. It is difficult to pick one unique
element that embodies all of what a company is trying to portray through its products and services and it is suggested that multiple brand
elements be used to help support this. Let us first look at Brand names.
4. Brand Names
• Hardest element for a marketer to change
• Naming Guidelines & Procedures:
– Define objectives
– Must reflect company & its values
– Generate a series of names
– Screen initial candidates
– Study and research candidates
– Select final name
Keller (2008, (pg. 144) states that a "well chosen brand name can make an appreciable contribution to the creation of brand equity. Brand
names might be the strongest element of all the brand elements in terms of association and uniqueness. Not only does the brand name have
to reflect the company and its values, but be clever enough to have a possibility for expansion and development in the future. There are
several guidelines and procedures for the naming of a brand. This is an extremely difficult process making this element the hardest option for
a marketer to change (Keller, 2008). Brand names that are simple and easy to pronounce or spell, familiar and meaningful, and different,
distinctive, and unusual can improve brand awareness. Specific procedures need to be taken to move forward in the process. By defining
objectives, generate a series of names, screen initial candidates, study and research them, and then the selection of the final name is often
the process a company takes to come up with a brand name.
Next we will explore some good examples and some not so good examples of brand names.
5. Brand Names & Examples
• Establish presence on the Internet
– Register appropriate URL/domain name
– Be aware & avoid copyright infringement
• Nike
– “Just Do It”
– Name originating from Greek goddess of Victory
• Apple
– “Think Different”
– Sued in 1989 for trademark violations
Other examples: Ford, McDonald’s, Starbucks,
MasterCard, Sony, Anheuser-Busch
Launching a marketing campaign and the development of a brand name should be synonymous with the brand name, but with emerging
technologies and the broad spectrum of the Internet, it is not that easy. Recently, choosing a URL (Uniform Resource Locators) or better known
to us as domain names, has proven to be extremely difficult for companies to come up with unique names that have not already been registered.
Companies also must be careful of copyright infringement and violations of trademarked words. Here we show examples of some strong brand
names, like Apple and Nike.
A strong brand name now, Apple is viewed as something that is rich in nutrients and flavor that can be translated universally. The apple is also
looked at as a symbol of love and forbidden temptations in Greek Mythology. It has proven to work well for their company in a global scale.
Despite this, Apple has had its own fair shares of hiccups when developing its brand. Apple Records, the Beatles record company, sued Apple
Computer, Inc., over trademark violations in 1989 (Rivkin, 2011). Nike, its literal meaning originating from the Greek goddess of Victory (Nike,
Inc. 2012) has worked well with its simplistic name, ease of use and representation of the company’s original mission statement.
Next we will look at Logos & Symbols.
6. Logos & Symbols
• Easily recognizable, simple, valuable
• Logos
– corporate names
– Trademarks
– Creative abstract designs
• Symbols
– Non-word mark logos without text
– Strong visual connection
• Must have flexibility to update later
Logos and symbols are a major brand element in that they are easily recognizable, simple and a valuable way for consumers to connect with a
brand. Logos can range from corporate names, trademarks, and creative abstract designs unrelated to the company or corporate name.
Symbols, on the other hand, are non-word mark logos with no accompanying text (Keller, 2008, pg. 156). I think symbols are more effective as
far as brand recognition is concerned. Strong symbols represent a company where you can automatically recognize what the brand and
company is by just a small picture. The associations help the consumer identify with the brand from a visual standpoint.
A benefit of logos and symbols is the ability to update and change the design. While it is proven difficult by marketers to do this without losing
the brand loyalty of consumers due to change, updating the logo to keep up with the relevant market is necessary. This can help bring an
outdated brand into the current market and reestablish a presence for an increase in sales for its products. Let’s look at some examples of
logos; can you guess which companies they are from?
8. Characters & Celebrity/Athlete
Endorsements
• Communicates key product benefits through different channels
• Characters
– No intended product meaning
– Can update/change easily
– Can stay relevant for years & provide same effect
– Reevaluate character if brand launches globally
• Celebrity/Athlete Endorsements
– High risk for public mistakes
– Could cost company positive reputation
– Popularity of partnership & high ROI value
Let us now focus our attention on characters, celebrity, and athlete endorsements. Characters have been used for decades to connect
consumers with brand awareness whether it is a fictional character or a celebrity or athlete endorsement. They can both help communicate key
product benefits through advertising channels (Keller, 2008). Fictional characters have both benefits and drawbacks, despite the thinking that it
is less of a risk to use fictional characters than recognizable celebrities or athletes in advertising. The same could be said for celebrity
endorsements. What might work well for one company, might not for another. Notorious examples include athletes like golfer Tiger Woods, and
Olympic gold medalist swimmer Michael Phelps making personal mistakes in their lives and losing endorsement deals.
These errors in judgment could ultimately cost the company millions of dollars in revenue by consumers who are looking for brands and
celebrities they can relate to and look up to in a positive light. A benefit to characters is that they do not necessarily have a product meaning and
can be used across several platforms and product categories (Keller, 2008). These characters as well as celebrity endorsements might not work
effectively on a global scale. Fictional characters might be perceived different in various countries because of the culturally specific intent of
some companies (Keller, 2008). Let’s take a look at some of the most popular brand characters and products specifically endorsed by celebrities
and athletes.
9. Characters & Celebrity/Athlete
• Some examples:
Endorsements
Kellogg’s Breakfast Cereal characters
Olay & Carrie Underwood
Michael Jordan & Gatorade
Next we will look at our next brand element, slogans.
Dos Equis Man
10. Slogans
• Brands can have multiple slogans
• Short phrases that communicate:
– Descriptive information
– Persuasive information
– The understanding of brand’s intention
Another brand element that is an option to explore for companies is a strong slogan. Keller defines these as short phrases that communicate
descriptive or persuasive information about the brand. It is used to help consumers understand the meaning of the brand’s intention and
piggyback on its logo or symbol. Creativity is key with slogans and often includes rhyming words or something specific to make a consumer
remember the tag line. It is also implemented within marketing and advertising campaign.
Slogans can also be interpreted in different ways and does not necessarily have a literal meaning behind it. They are used to help a consumer
make up their own positive opinion on what the brand means and how it best relates to them. Slogans are also used for specific campaigns that
are only relevant seasonally or to launch a new product. A brand can have multiple slogans but must make sure that all of them are able to go
back to the root brand name and core values they share.
Now let’s look at designing and updating slogans as well as some examples.
11. Slogans
• Designing Slogans
– Creativity is key
– Easiest brand element to change
• Updating Slogans
– Recognize what slogan is doing
– How much enhancement is needed
– Research
– Retain needed/desired equities within slogan
– Make changes
Slogans embody user imagery and can take the brand name and build awareness (Keller, 2008). However, sometimes, these catch phrases can
be overused and become annoying to consumers, removing the once positive feelings that were associated with the brand. Slogans are the
easiest of the main brand elements to change, alter and improve. As a marketer, we are able to be flexible in how we manage them. If changes
are going to be made, there are several steps that we can follow to modify a brand, if needed to rebuild equity. First, we want to recognize what
the slogan is doing. Is it contributing to the brand awareness? Is it still relevant in today’s market?
Through these channels of awareness, the company can assess if the slogan needs a simple tweak or modification or a complete makeover.
Next, we want to figure out how much enhancement is needed and map out a plan to make these changes. Research might be required to
sustaining relevancy while preventing the brand from losing any loyal consumers from this change. Finally, we want to retain the needed or
desired equities that are still within the slogan and figure out what changes are to be made to contribute to brand equity going forward (Keller,
2008). Let’s look at some examples.
12. Slogans
• Some examples:
Built Ford Tough.
Where’s The Beef?
Got Milk?
To accompany Slogans, lets take a look at Jingles.
13. Jingles
• Originated during radio broadcasts
• Associates brand to product with catchy tune
• Large component to build brand equity
“You have to listen to it and want to sing it. You become
the advertiser for the brand.”
- Linda Kaplan Thaler
Jingles were made popular during radio broadcasts before television advertising. They were catchy quick tunes that associated the brand to its
product. Creativity also comes into play with jingles, and can be extended or abbreviated for use in advertising. Often even though looked at as
silly or cheesy, jingles are a large component to help build brand equity. They are useful in that they repeat the brand name and can be used
well into the future as a valuable asset to brand awareness. However, they can be problematic because of its musicality. It is harder to change
or alter a jingle if it is not successful (Keller, 2008, pg. 164).
Songs that are used in advertising brands can also help promote a brand. Many unknown bands become popular as can be identified as a
“theme song” to a certain product associating the message of the song with the product being sold. Linda Kaplan Thaler, CEO and Chief
Creative Officer of The Kaplan Thaler group explains, “A jingle is not successful if you listen to it once and like it. You have to listen to it and
want to sing it. Essentially, you become the advertiser for the brand” (Bruno, 2010). To note, she is one of the creative minds behind the Toys ‘R
Us jingle, “I Don’t Wanna Grow Up”. Let us look at some examples.
14. Jingles
Some examples:
• Mentos breathmints and chewable candy: “Mentos, the
Freshmaker”:
http://youtu.be/PSSxAijGNv4
• Hershey’s Kit Kat chocolate bar: “”Give Me A Break”:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojYcc-p1TgQ
• Folgers coffee: “The Best Part of Waking Up, is Folgers in Your
Cup”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujEqAi6-VGo
• Free Credit Report.com Catchy creative songs:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujEqAi6-VGo
15. Brand Packaging
• Overall objectives:
– Identify brand message
– Convey descriptive & persuasive information
– Facilitate product transport & protection
– Assist at-home storage
– Aid in product consumption
Packaging is an important element to help build brand equity and should embody several objectives to be successful. These objectives are
identifying the brand, conveying information that is both descriptive and persuasive, facilitate the product transportation and protection, assist at-
home storage, and aid in product consumption (Keller, 2008). These objectives must be tied together in a unique and distinctive way to attract
the eye of the consumers.
There are many different components to what makes packaging more attractive than others. Distinguishing colors, shapes, sizes, materials,
graphics, texts help foster brand recognition and let it convey or imply information to reinforce these recognitions (Keller, 2008). These
differences can be a unique spin on brand equity, and provide an edge over a competitor. This is done to packages at the point of purchase to
immediately trigger a brand association. Next we will explore package innovations, designs, and changes and show some examples.
16. Brand Packaging
• Packaging Innovations
– More detailed to match marketing objectives
– Must be unique and different
• Packing Design
– “Shelf impact”
– Color plays large role
• Packing Changes
– Easiest of brand elements to change
– Must update to stay relevant
– Conduct consumer research for best choice
Changes in packaging to better fit the economy, country or specific market occurs often with global products. These innovative changes can help
boost sales, even if just temporary. The design of packages is more detailed and developed to match the marketing objectives of the product.
Each of the design elements, which must be unique to remain relevant, can directly affect how a product will sell. “Shelf impact”, defined by
Keller (2008) as the visual effect the package has when consumers first see it on the shelves before others around it. Keller also suggests that
the biggest and brightest packages are not always effective in this situation.
Color plays a large role in package design, its innovations and its changes. Packaging with certain colors suggests different levels of consumer
perception (Keller, 2008). This brand element, despite being potentially costly if major changes are made on a global scale, is easier to change
than other elements would be.
17. Brand Packaging
• Some examples:
Heinken Beer - Unique Green Bottle
Tiffany & Co. signature
blue box with white ribbon
Noté headphones
Trial and error for certain limited edition products like flavors or sponsored advertising products will not eradicate a brand if it does not
resonate well with consumers. The most common reason for package changes is to update the older package to make it more
appealing and less outdated in today’s market and to compete with other brands that might have a newer design. With all of these
changes, consumer research is done to test a company’s theories on product changes, they do not want to steer too far away from
what makes the product successful but simply tie in the attractiveness of the brand to give it the most impact. Let us look at some
18. Closing Remarks
• Choose different brand elements that work for YOU!
• Set goals FIRST!
• Keep a mindset to build brand equity!
• All elements should be flexible & adaptable!
• Continue educating yourself & always ask questions!
• Good luck!
Choosing what brand element works best for you or your company is a challenging task. You can use one or all of the elements to help
promote your brand to consumers. It is important to research all aspects of your company and how you want to be portrayed to others.
Setting goals for your company first will help in the developmental stages of creating a unique brand. Make sure that all of these elements
can tie back to one instrumental thing: building brand equity.
Keller (2008) reminds us that the quest to bring awareness and positive imagery to the consumers can be daunting, but if there is
cohesiveness with each of the elements and they support one another, brand identity can be achieved. In addition, these elements should all
be flexible and adaptable enough to stay relevant over time. Thank you for the opportunity to share some of Keller’s advanced branding
concepts with you. Please feel free to ask any questions about what we have discussed today and best of luck in your future careers!
