7. 1520PCA 1520PCAConventional Wisdom
brand
A brand is a product, service, or concept that is publicly
distinguished from other products, services, or concepts so that
it can be easily communicated and usually marketed. A brand
name is the name of the distinctive product, service, or concept.
Branding is the process of creating and disseminating the brand
name. Branding can be applied to the entire corporate identity
as well as to individual product and service names.
Here is the famous advertising copywriter and ad agency founder David
Ogilvy's definition of a brand:
The intangible sum of a product's attributes: its name,
packaging, and price, its history, its reputation, and the way it's
advertised.
