Study Notes

Branding and Brand Management

Brand Identity: Everything a company wants its brand to represent in customer minds. Includes visuals, ideas, emotions, qualities, and experiences. A clear identity helps products stand out. Key components include: concept, values (e.g., sustainability), visual branding (logo), promise, mission, vision, quality (products/services), customer experience, brand culture, and legacy (storytelling).

Brand Personality

Brand Personality: Human characteristics associated with a brand. Consumers attribute traits (e.g., traditional, romantic, rebellious, sophisticated) to products and choose brands aligned with their self-image.

Brand Equity

Brand Equity: Added value a brand name brings beyond the product's basic benefits. It provides a competitive advantage and often results in consumers willing to pay a premium for a product compared to a similar product without brand equity. Examples include Skipper juices (imply quality), Gillette razors, Bose audio systems, Duracell batteries, and Louis Vuitton luggage.
Creating Brand Equity: Brand equity isn't automatic; it comes from consumer learning, feelings, and experiences with the brand over time.

CBBE Pyramid

CBBE Pyramid: A model illustrating the steps to building brand equity. (Diagram/description of the pyramid would be needed for complete notes).

Kapferer's Brand Identity Prism

Kapferer's Brand Identity Prism: A six-sided model addressing both internal and external aspects of brand identity (physique, personality, culture, relationship, reflection, and self-image). It contrasts with simpler frameworks by offering a multifaceted view of brand identity.
- Physique: Tangible elements like physical features and iconic products.
- Personality: Brand character or attitude.
- Culture: Underlying values and culture.
- Relationship: How the brand connects with consumers.
- Reflection: Idealized consumer image portrayed in ads.
- Self-image: Consumers' internal perception when using the brand.

Destination Marketing

Destination Marketing: The marketing of a location as a tourist destination. A complex process involving balancing stakeholder interests, vigorous marketing, and promotion of the destination's unique aspects.
Destination Typology: Categorizing destinations based on key features to aid marketing.
Marketing Mix (4Ps):
- Product: The destination and its services, amenities, and attractions.
- Price: Pricing influenced by target markets, economic situations, supplier costs, and intermediaries.
- Place (Distribution): Channels for selling the destination, considering different needs of business and leisure travelers.
- Promotion: All marketing communication tools (advertising, sales, offers, publicity). Includes above-the-line (traditional media) and below-the-line (events, fairs) techniques. De-marketing can also be necessary.
Destination Branding:
- Types: Geographic (focuses on location) and thematic (focuses on themes/unique aspects). Thematic targets emotional aspects of the destination.
- Branding Process: Includes destination audit, SWOT analysis, stakeholder engagement, consumer research, and competitor analysis.
Sicily's Tourism: A destination with diverse landscapes, cultural, historical, archaeological sites, and UNESCO heritage sites. Strengths include a good climate; beaches and sea; rich cultural heritage; UNESCO sites; a popular brand image; hospitality; a wide range of tourism products; and the ability to combine products/services and create thematic experiences. Weaknesses include a poor public transportation system, lack of an easily accessible online tourism offer, and inadequate cooperation between stakeholders. Opportunities include religious festivals, accessibility from cruise ships and cheaper flight prices. Threats are island-related issues like airport closures, winter boat cancellations, and increased tourism.

Adriano Olivetti

Adriano Olivetti: An Italian entrepreneur who aimed to humanize factory work and create a "human city." He transformed factories into places of beauty and transparency. His philosophy integrated work with cultural, social, and architectural advancements and put a high value on shared culture and economic autonomy.

Dolce & Gabbana

Dolce & Gabbana: A fashion house that leverages Italian heritage in its branding and marketing, particularly showcasing traditional Italian craftsmanship. Challenges include balancing heritage with careful consideration of potentially controversial imagery, like a 2018 campaign criticized for culturally insensitive portrayals in China.

This incident underlined the delicate balance between leveraging national identity in branding and maintaining cultural sensitivity.
