Description
Branding is much more than designing a logotype and choosing a slogan. Branding is a means to create and deliver a promise of value to customers. Marketers have begun to use branding to enhance customers¿ understanding of their products in a way that creates multiple cognitive associations between the brand and the product, which customers use as an input to decision-making. Therefore, this course focuses on the development and management of brands as valuable assets in delivering value to customers. It provides a thorough understanding of models of brand development and management and incorporates practical branding examples, so that students can make and evaluate branding decisions in the future. While the course is primarily offered to students undertaking a major in marketing, it is also offered to any students with an interest in marketing and/or management.
