- The brand must be communicated to the consumer through all offeringsThe brand must be fully integrated into the company – through its website, logo, ads, products – the message must be clear to the consumer.Through branding a company is making a promise to the customer to deliver them a certain experience.
- Diet coke will make them feel a certain way. Strong packaging-easily recognisable. Delivers a certain experience. Promises to achieve a certain result.This branding is used throughout the diet coke campaigns and is easily recognisable.
- Family Brand Names:Eg CadburyGoodwill attached to the family brand name benefits the companyIndividual brand name:Does not identify a brand with a particular companyEgpringles – proctor and gamble product. Each brand requires a different identityCombination brand names:EgKellogsCornFlakesCapitalises on the reputation of the company while allowing the individual brands to be distinguished and identified.
- Brand Domain – the brands target market, where it competes in the market placeBrand Heritage – the background to the brand and its culture. How it has achieved its success.Brand value – The core values and characteristics if the brand.Brand assets – what makes the brand distinctive from competing brands.Brand personality – the character of the brand described in terms of other entities eg people, animals or objects. - celebrity endorsements can be used for this.Brand reflection – how the brand relates to self-identity, how the customer perceives themselves as a result of buying the brand.
- Brandt and Johnson suggested a set of guidelines for building a successful brand and managing the brand.

- Brand personality are the brands characteristics – these can be humanised. It’s all about feelings and emotions.Example of google chrome – dear hollie – emotional and consumers can connect with the brand – the brand has characteristics that we can relate to.

- Brand extension – the use of an established brand name on a new brand within the same broad market – eg dove soap brand had been extended into shower gels, deoderants etc.Companies do this so they can capitalise on brand awareness.Good example is dove
- Brand Stretching – When an established brand name is used for brands in unrelated markets Less risk of launching a new product if it has a strong brand name to support it.Customers are used to the brand and its values therefore are more comfortable buying the products even if they were in different markets.Less promotional costs as brand is already well established and customer has awareness alreadyExample virgin – travel, money, music, tv
- Some companies can rely on the strong brand name to rescue them if problems occurProblems and issues however can affect the strength of the brand and damage its reputation therefore companies must have other contingency plans.
- Manufacturers brands are created by producers and bear their own chosen brand names. The responsibility for marketing the brand lies in the hands of the producer. Own brands are created and owned by distributors. Sometimes the entire product mix of a distributor may be own-labelOwn brands can provide consistent high value for the customer and be a source of retail power therefore can compete with manufacturer brands.Brand extension – the use of an established brand name on a new brand within the same broad market – eg dove soap brand had been extended into shower gels, deoderants etc.Brand Stretching – When an established brand name is used for brands in unrelated markets – eg celebrities do this often – Jennifer Lopez – perfume, clothes, accessories.Pan European – successfully penetrated the european market. Versus Global penetrationPenetrating both markets results in benefits such as economies of scale. However national differences may make it difficult to enter other markets.
