The Brand Elements (Part III)

April 24th, 2009 · 3 Comments ·

In my second post of this series, The Brand’s Reason for Being, we justified the brand, but failed to discuss its elements – so let’s cover that in this post.

“Brands have always been about the relationship between product and user.”

“Differentiation is the most important concept in the creation of powerful brands.”

“Presence, unlike ubiquity, is an image-management process that transcends rigorous systems of applications to focus on communication that is targeted, personal, and relevant always, without compromising the integrity of the overall identity. Presence expresses the emotional and sensory atmosphere that surrounds a brand.”

Marc Gobé (2001)
