What is
?
What is brand?
“A name, term, design, symbol, or any other
feature that identifies one seller’s goods or
services as distinct from those of other sellers.
The legal term for brand is a trademark. A brand
may identify one item, a family of items, or all
items of that seller. If used for the firm as a
whole, the preferred term is trade name.” –
American Marketing Association
• "A brand symbol is “anything that leaves a
mental picture of the brand’s identity.“
- Leo Burnett
• “A brand is a singular idea or concept that you
own inside the mind of a prospect.” - Al Ries
• “The intangible sum of a product’s attributes.”
- David Ogilvy

What I think brand
Brand is customer’s (prospect)
perception, resonance of all
experiences and transactions they
have with an organization.

How can we communicate to
perception?
Our Perception
What brand is NOT
• Brand is NOT what the business says it is.
• Brand is NOT what the designer designs.
• Brand is NOT the words the copyright wrote.
• Brand is NOT the price.
• Brand is NOT the quality.
• Brand is ALL of these things and more.
Simply put,
brand is not created
by the projector.
Brand the is perception
of the customer.
