Defining a "brand": beyond the literature with experts' interpretations
Article Abstract:
Researchers attempting to develop a theory of how brands are constructed interviewed 20 major consultants and looked at more than 100 trade and academic articles before proposing that the idea of a brand is a multi-faceted concept which incorporates both the values of the company and the expectations and needs of customers. Incorporating a brand into the value system of consumers is a long-term process and a company needs to ensure that it's products live up to their brand image and the expectations of consumers.
