20. Brand essence is the core characteristic which
defines a brand. It is an intangible attribute that
separates your brand from your competition’s brand
by your audience.
It is emotional and based on feelings.
A brand essence is intangible for your audience,
unique to your brand and, most importantly, reliable.
It is not a commodity, nor is it product related. It is
the essential feeling evoked in your audience when
they hear your brand name. It combines the
attributes and benefits of your brand succinctly.

21. Branding Vs. Marketing
Branding is often confused with the process of marketing, but the
two are actually very different concepts. However, they do play a
similar role in helping the company stand out in a crowded
marketplace.
Marketing is the practice of promoting your business to its
audience of prospects and current customers.
Branding is the collective group of signals the business uses in its
marketing and advertising, as well as in all of its points of
presence in the world, both online and in the day-to-day "real"
world to distinguish itself from all of its competitors.

22. Therefore, your brand essence should be boiled down
to one or maybe two words.
Let’s look at some well known brand essence
examples:
•Visa = Everywhere
•FedEx = Safe
•Disney = Magical
•REI = Adventurous

23. Without a product
Product,
There is NO Brand

25. “The process involved in creating a unique name and image
for a product in the consumers' mind, mainly through
advertising campaigns with a consistent theme.”
Branding certainly starts with the very name of the product or
the company, whichever is the subject of the branding effort.
A good brand name is the linchpin of a solid strategy.
As a result, it should be memorable, unique and preferably
short. A successful corporate brand extends far beyond the
name into things like logos, color schemes, fonts and more.
The core of the brand must be a unique name that the
company can successfully trademark and protect from use by
competitors or future brands.

27. Umbrella branding (also known as family
branding) is a marketing practice involving the
use of a single brand name for the sale of two
or more related products.
Umbrella branding is mainly used by
companies with a positive brand equity (value
of a brand in a certain marketplace).

32. Multi-brand strategy. A business strategy involving a company
marketing several similar products as competitors, each with their
own individual brand name. A Multi-brand strategy does have some
advantages as a way of securing greater shelf space with little
remaining for rival products.
Examples of Multi-Brand Strategy. Procter & Gamble (P&G) – Is an
American consumer goods company, that sells 23 different brands.
For example, Tide, Pampers, Gillette, Ace, Head & Shoulders, etc.
