• What is Branding
Brand is the proprietary visual, emotional,
rational, and cultural image that you associate
with a company or a product.
When you think Air-tel, you might think telecommunication. When
you think Amul, you might think of Milk products or
"The test of India." When you think Sony, you might think "Electric
Producs." The fact that you remember the brand name and have
positive associations with that brand makes your product selection
easier and enhances the value and satisfaction you get from the
product.
• Naam me bahot kuch rakka hai...!
A great brand name is one of the most powerful
forces in branding, marketing and advertising. It is at
once the story about what makes you different from
your competitors and the emotional tug that
connects you with your audience.
• What it Takes to build a Brand ?
- Consistency

- Service Performance
- Advertising

• Brand Ambassador
A brand ambassador a well-connected person
or a celebrity who is used to promote and
advertise a product or service.
A company achieves some clear-cut goals by using a brand
ambassador. It works out in building brand loyalty, as the
consumer may have interest on that particular celebrity.
So when he or she would see that celebrity on an advertisement,
then that person could get motivated to use that product or
service, as a respected person is involved.
• Umbrella Brand
An umbrella brand is a parent brand that appears on
a number of products that may each have separate
brand images.
There is great beauty in simplicity.
That which is simple is close to Truth.
