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

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
8/8/2019 Brand Management Day1
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/brand-management-day1 29/68
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.
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.

Brand judgments focus on customers own personal opinions andevaluations.

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

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.
