What is brand?
A brand is a product, service, or concept that is publicly distinguished from other products, services, or concepts so that it can be easily communicated and usually marketed. A brand name is the name of the distinctive product, service, or concept. Branding is the process of creating and disseminating the brand name. Branding can be applied to the entire corporate identity as well as to individual product and service names.
Brands are usually protected from use by others by securing a trademark or service mark from an authorized agency, usually a government agency. Before applying for a trademark or service mark, you need to establish that someone else hasn’t already obtained one for your name. Although you can do the searching yourself, it is common to hire a law firm that specializes in doing trademark searches and managing the application process, which, in the United States, takes about a year. Once you’ve learned that no one else is using it, you can begin to use your brand name as a trademark simply by stating it is a trademark. After you receive the trademark, you can use the registered symbol after your trademark.
What is brand?
Brands are often expressed in the form of logos, graphic representations of the brand. In computers, a recent example of widespread brand application was the “Intel Inside” label provided to manufacturers that use Intel’s microchips.
A company’s brands and the public’s awareness of them is often used as a factor in evaluating a company. Corporations sometimes hire market research firms to study public recognition of brand names as well as attitudes toward the brands.
What is brand?
Here is the famous advertising copywriter and ad agency founder David Ogilvy’s definition of a brand:
The intangible sum of a product’s attributes: its name, packaging, and price, its history, its reputation, and the way
it’s advertised.
What is brand?
David MacKenzie Ogilvy (June 23, 1911– July 21, 1999), was a notable ad
vertising executive. He has often been called “The Father of Advertising.” In 1962, Time called him “the most sought-after wizard in today’s advertising industry.” He was known for a career of expanding the bounds of both creativity and morality.

Discussion: Three Promotions
Case 1 Macdonald’s
• Why do you think this promotion was
unpopular with Macdonald’s customers?
• How do you think Macdonald’s dealt with the
situation?
Case 1 Macdonald’s
• The promotion was unpopular because it gave a misleading impression of the price. When the price of the french fries and drink at the full price were taken into account, the discount on the whole meal amounted to only about 5%.
• McDonald’s withdrew the promotion and cancelled the campaign. It also announced a major reorganisation in its management structure, scrapping the 40-year-old tradition of centralised management in Illinois, USA, and appointing local managers instead.
Discussion: Three Promotions
Case 2 Pepsi
• What prize do you think John Leonard is claim
ing from Pepsi Cola?
• What did he do to claim the prize?
• What do you think Pepsi Cola have described
his claim as frivolous?
Case 2 Pepsi
• John Leonard claimed a Harrier Jump Jet by buying 7,000,000 Pepsi Stuff Points at l0¢ each: a cost of $700,000 or about £400,000 for a machine that normally costs several million dollars.
• Pepsi described his claim as ‘frivolous’ because the advertisement was meant as a joke. However, when they later screened the advertisement on national TV in the USA, the number of points needed to claim the Harrier Jet was increased from 7 million to 700 million.
Discussion: Three Promotions
Case 3 Irish Tourist Board
• Why do you think the Irish people disliked the
logo so much?
• Was the minister right to get rid of the logo?
• Which logo do you prefer?
Case 3 Irish Tourist Board
• Many people felt there was no need to get rid of the shamrock, which has been the symbol of Irish tourism for the past 30 years. They also found it difficult to work out what the new symbol was and interpreted it in hundreds of ways, for example: two sumo wrestlers preparing to fight; two crabs meeting; two monsters; a viking ship.
Skills: Taking part in Meetings
Build up a profile of a company, hold a meet
ing to speculate about what may be causing i
t to lose sales and brainstorm possible soluti
ons (to improve its sales and its brand aware
ness amongst its target consumers).
Case Study: Caferoma
BackgroundBrand Caferoma
Owned by Pan European Food and Drink (PEFD)
Image exclusive, Italian style, coffee for gourmets
Pricing high
Product characteristics
strong full-bodied flavour, slight bitter taste
Case Study: Caferoma
Problems Caferoma’s share of the European quality ground coffee mar
ket has declined by almost 25%, reasons are: Brand loyalty: consumers becoming less loyal to brands and
prefer low-priced coffee products Price: supermarkets selling similar products under their own
label at much lower prices ‘Copycat’ products: at prices 30% to 40% lower than Cafero
ma’s price; having cut into Caferoma’s market share Brand image: no longer conveying feeling of excitement an
d enthusiasm, not giving the impression of up-to-date and contemporary
Case Study: Caferoma
Possible Solutions• Repositioning the product• Pricing• Advertising• Multiple brands• Own label products• A new product• Stretching the brand
