3. Introduction to Brand
A brand is a name, term, sign, symbol, or design, or a
combination of these, that identifies the maker or seller of a product or
service.
History of Branding:
The word "brand" derives from the word "brandr" meaning "to
burn" - recalling the practice of producers burning their trade mark (or
brand) onto their products.
The oldest generic brand, in continuous use in India since the
Vedic period is the herbal paste known as Chyawanprash, consumed
for its purported health benefits and attributed to a revered rishi (or
seer) named Chyawan.

4. Around 1900, James Walter Thompson published a house
ad explaining trademark advertising. This was an early
commercial explanation of what we now know as branding.
Companies soon adopted slogans, mascots and jingles that
began to appear on radio and early television.
By the 1940s, manufacturers began to recognize the way in
which consumers were developing relationships with their
brands in a social/ psychological sense.
Manufacturers quickly learned to build their brands‘
identity and personality such as youthfulness, fun or luxury. This
began the practice we now know as "branding" today, where the
consumers buy "the brand" instead of the product.

5. What is a Brand?
Consumers view a brand as an important part of a
product, and branding can add value to a consumer’s
purchase. Customers attach meanings to brands and
develop brand relationships. As a result, brands have
meaning well beyond a product’s physical attributes.
Branding is an effort to give a unique identity to
the company’s products and create emotional
associations with consumers.

measured even though it’s not on
the balance sheet”
“I would rather feel bad
in Maine then good
anywhere else in the
world”
“Wherever you go, there
are three icons that
everyone knows: Jesus
Christ, Pele and Coca-
Cola”

are able to monetize that brand,
are tremendously profitable”
