Brand Identity • The outward expression of the brand, includes : • - its name • - visual appearance. • Brand identity is its fundamental • means of: • consumer recognition • symbolizes the brand's • differentiation from competitors.
Brand Image The customer's “take“ on the brand. For users - this is based on practical experience of the product or service concerned (informed impressions) and how well this meets expectations For non-users - it is based almost entirely upon uninformed impressions, attitudes and beliefs.
Brand Personality The attribution of human personality traits (e.g seriousness, warmth, imagination)to a brand as a way to achieve differentiation. Usually done through long-term above-the-line advertising , packaging and graphics. These traits inform brand behavior through both prepared communication/packaging, and through the people who represent the brand - its employees.
Integrated Brand Communications “ IBC is the process of developing and implementing various forms of persuasive communications programs with customers and prospects over time. The goal of IBC is to influence or directly affect the behaviour of the selected communications audience. IBC considers all sources of brand or company contacts which a customer or prospect has with the product or service as potential delivery channels for future messages.” (Shimp, 2000,)
