Strategic Brand Management

The 1980s marked a turning point in how brandsbegan to be viewed.

Real value lies outside the business itself 

Since 1991, buzz word is brand equity. Companies now bought not production capacity but

brands (places in consumers minds).

There were 26 different ways to measure brand

equity in 1994.

Ratio of 20:25 times of price: earnings ratio.

Implications of strategic brand management

Top management is now paying close attention to brands . Brands are being treated as strategic assets,as realisation that Brand bldg leads to Business Bldg

New way of thinking (in terms of capitalizing) means umbrella/ source /master brands.

End of dispersion &proliferation Reducing the brand portfolio means fewer brands encompassmore products e.g. in 1991 Nestle launched 101 new products worldwide but created only 5 newbrands.

Managing innovation allocation - Marketing manager & not brand managers decide innovation. Identity prevails over imageBrand image is how you are perceived & brand identity is how you

aspire to be perceived.

Exploiting brand equity leveraging. Reducing a brand to only one product means shrinking brandequity

Brand equity vs price war.New rules of   Brand Mgt-seduce customers through sharedvalues,innovations

Addressing diversity of consumers and geographical mkts

Identity vs change From transaction to relationships through functional,experiential and aspirational values

Knowing it takes more than Brand name to build a Brand

4. What are our values?

5. Mission.

What specific mission does the brand want to carry out in its market?

6. Know-how.

What is the brands specific know - how?

Obstacles to the Branding Principles

1) Current corporate accounting treats any outlaywhere payback is uncertain (e.g. advertising) as anexpense not asset.

2) Annual accounting - brand managers judged onyearly results.

3) Product based accounting discourages productmanagers from bolstering brand as a whole

4) Even though advertising agency has own network of  partner companies in charge of name research,packaging, graphic identity, event, communications (thus

IMC), they cannot address strategic issues like brandportfolio management.

5) High turnover of brand managers6) Failure to look at brand management as a system & not

piecemeal.

Twenty-First Century Branding

1. Relying on brand awareness has become marketing fools gold Smart brandsare more concerned with brand relevance and brand resonance.

2. You have to know it before you can grow it Most brands dont know whothey are, where theyve been, and where theyre going.

3. Always remember the Spandex rule of brand expansion Just because you can

doesnt mean you should.4. Great brands establish enduring customer relationships They have more to

do with emotions and trust than with footwear cushioning or the way a coffeebean is roasted.

5. Everything matters Even your restroom.

6. All brands need good parents Unfortunately, most brands come fromtroubled homes.

7. Big is no excuse for being bad Truly great brands use their superhumanpowers for good and place people and principles before profits.

8. Relevance, simplicity, and humanity Rather than technology will distinguishbrands in the future.

Brand equity

What is Brand Equity

Is set of assets & liabilities linked to a brand, its name

& symbol, that add to or subtract from the value

provided by a product or service to a firm and/or to

that firms customers.

Page 30: Brand Management Day1

8/8/2019 Brand Management Day1

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/brand-management-day1 30/68

Brand equity

Is the added value endowed to products & services. It is an importantintangible asset that has psychological & financial value to the firm.

Customer based brand equity is the differential effect that past brandknowledge has on consumer response to the marketing of a brand. Thuspower of   brand lies in minds of consumers & what they haveexperienced/learned about brand over time.

A brand is said to have positive customer-based brand equity whenconsumers react more favorably to a product and the way it is marketedwhen the brand is identified as compared to when it is not. A brand withpositive customer based brand equity results in consumers moreaccepting of new brand extension, less sensitive to price increase orwithdrawal of advertising support or more willing to seek brand in new

distribution channel.

Brand equity Contd of slide.

There are three key ingredients to this definition. First,b

rand equity arisesfrom differences in consumer response. If no differences occur, then thebrand name product can essentially be classified as a commodity orgeneric version of the product. Competition would then be probably bebased on price.

Second, these differences in response are a result of consumers

knowledge about the brand .Brand knowledge consists of all the thoughts,feelings, images, experiences, beliefs, and so on that become associatedwith the brand. In particular, brands must create strong, favorable, andunique brand associations with customers.

Third, the differential response by consumers that makes up the brandequity is reflected in perceptions, preferences, and behavior related to all

aspects of the marketing of a brand.

Consumer knowledge,feelings and actions is what drives the differencesthat manifest themselves in brand equity. The quality of investmentrather than quantity is critical factor.

Brand equity models

1) Brand Asset Valuator Young and Rubicam (Y&R) developed a model of brandequity called Brand Asset Valuator (BAV). There are four key components orpillars  of brand equity, according to BAV:

Differentiation measures the degree to which a brand is seen as different fromothers.

Relevance measures the breadth of a brands appeal Esteem measures how well the brand is regarded and respected

Knowledge measures how familiar and intimate consumers are with the brand.

Differentiation and Relevance combine to determine Brand Strength. Thesetwo pillars point to the brands future value, rather than just reflecting its past.

Esteem and Knowledge together create Brand Stature, which is more of areport card on past performance.

3) Brandz  Is based on Brand Dynamics pyramid.According to this model, brand building involvesa sequential series of steps.

Presence. Do I know about it?

Relevance. Does it offer me something? Performance. Can it deliver?

Advantage. Does it offer something better thanothers?

Bonding. Nothing else beats it.

4) Brand resonance Pyramid Four steps to brand building involves 6brand building blocks.

Brand salience relates to how often and easily the brand is evoked undervarious purchase or consumption situations.

Brand performance relates to how the product or service meetscustomers functional needs.

Brand imagery deals with the extrinsic properties of the product orservice, including the ways in which the brand attempts to meetcustomers psychological or social needs.

Brand judgments focus on customers own personal opinions andevaluations.

Brand feelings are customers emotional responses and reactions with

respect to the brand. Brand resonance refers to the nature of the relationship that customers

have with the brand and the extent to which customers feel thatthey are in sync with the brand.

Importance of Brand Awareness

- Brand awareness & familiarity sufficient for favorable consumerresponse in low involvement products

- Brand awareness plays important role in consumer decision-making through learning ,consideration, choice advantage

- Brand recognition vs brand recall : Brand recognition uses brandas a cue & brand recall requires consumers to retrieve brandfrom memory given product category, needs fulfilled,purchase/usage situation as cue

- Brand awareness is created by increasing familiarity of brandthrough repeated exposure (for brand recognition) & strongassociations (for brand recall).

(B) Signals of High Quality (contd of Slide)

Actual quality must be translated into perceived quality byoffering signals/cues.

Often key dimensions that are visible can be pivotal inaffecting perceptions about more important dimensionswhich are difficult to judge.

e.g. Stereos large size means better sound Tomato juice thickness means quality.

In addition to brands product features (intrinsic cues), otherbrand associations like advertising amount, brand name, price(extrinsic cues) also influence perceived quality.

Price acts as a quality cue when other cues are not available,unknowledgeable customers, products like wine, perfume etc.
