August Brand

August Brand (19 August 1863, Berlin – 17 September 1930, Sorau) was a German philologist and botanist.

He studied classical philology at Bonn and Berlin, obtaining his doctorate in 1885 with the thesis "De dialectis Aeolicis quae dicuntur". From 1885 to 1910 he taught classes in Frankfurt an der Oder, where he came under the influence of botanist Ernst Huth (1845–1897). From 1910 onward, he was an instructor at the gymnasium in Sorau.

Published works

He was the author of monographs on the plant families Symplocaceae, Polemoniaceae, Hydrophyllaceae and Boraginaceae that were included in Engler's "Das Pflanzenreich". He also made contributions towards Volume 3 in the new edition of Wilhelm Daniel Joseph Koch's "Synopsis der deutschen und schweizer Flora". Other noted works by Brand include:

Brand

A brand (or marque for car model) is a name, term, design, symbol or other feature that distinguishes one seller's product from those of others. Brands are used in business, marketing, and advertising. Initially, livestock branding was adopted to differentiate one person's cattle from another's by means of a distinctive symbol burned into the animal's skin with a hot branding iron.

In accounting, a brand defined as an intangible asset is often the most valuable asset on a corporation's balance sheet. Brand owners manage their brands carefully to create shareholder value, and brand valuation is an important management technique that ascribes a money value to a brand, and allows marketing investment to be managed (e.g.: prioritized across a portfolio of brands) to maximize shareholder value. Although only acquired brands appear on a company's balance sheet, the notion of putting a value on a brand forces marketing leaders to be focused on long term stewardship of the brand and managing for value.
