Today,
companies are competing on a daily basis for their consumers’ attention and
spending power. This has become increasingly difficult as new companies enter
the marketplace offering the same or very similar products and services, making
it difficult for consumers to differentiate between them. To overcome this,
companies use branding to create a favourable and memorable perception in the
mind of consumers. However, not all companies manage to achieve this, as brand
management is an intricate process. Brand management provides a
comprehensive understanding of brand management by detailing how branding can
be used to develop favourable brand equity.
Brand
management is
unique among other textbooks of its kind in that it provides a southern African
perspective but compares it with other contexts, thereby presenting a more
comprehensive explanation of brand management and its importance. Each chapter
consists of various examples as well as a scenario or case study, applying
every element of the theory.
