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.

BRAND
A brand is not just a logo. A brand is not just an identity. A brand is not just a product.
So what exactly is a brand?
![Page 6: Brand Failure](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042613/546e588eb4af9f5f058b465b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
A BRAND IS A PERSON’S GUT FEELING ABOUTA PRODUCT, SERVICE,OR ORGANIZATION.
![Page 7: Brand Failure](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042613/546e588eb4af9f5f058b465b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
INDIVIDUALS DEFINE BRANDS, NOT COMPANIES, MARKETS, OR PUBLIC.
It’s not what you say it is

It’s what they say it is.

WHY BRANDING IS SO IMPORTANT?
People have many choices and less time.
Most products have same quality and features.
Buying choices are based on trust.
![Page 10: Brand Failure](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042613/546e588eb4af9f5f058b465b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Product and brand failures occur on an ongoing basis at varying degrees within most product-based organizations.
The primary goal is to learn from product and brand failures so that future product development, design, strategy and implementation will be more successful.
![Page 11: Brand Failure](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042613/546e588eb4af9f5f058b465b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The benefits of studying failures
Gaining a better understanding of product failures is important to help prevent future failures.
Studying the history of product failures may generate some insight into the reason for those failures and create a list of factors that may increase the opportunity for success.
![Page 12: Brand Failure](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042613/546e588eb4af9f5f058b465b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Studying product failures allows those in the planning and implementation process to learn from the mistakes of other product and brand failures.
Each product failure can be investigated from the perspective of what, if anything, might have been done differently to produce and market a successful product rather than one that failed.

Defining product and brand failures A product is a failure when its presence in the market leads
to:
• The withdrawal of the product from the market for any reason
• The inability of a product to realize the required market share to sustain its presence in the market
• The inability of a product to achieve the anticipated life cycle as defined by the organization due to any reason
• The ultimate failure of a product to achieve profitability.

EXAMPLES OF PRODUCT FAILURES Computer & IT industry –Apple’s
Lisa, Napster Automotive and transportation-
Fiat Uno, Skybus, Concorde—supersonic airliner
Sports & Entertainment –ICL, Readers Digest
Food and Beverage –Cadbury Picnic, Blue Pepsi, New Coke

Failures are not necessarily the result of substandard engineering, design or marketing.
Based on critic’s definitions, there are hundreds of “bad” movies that have reached “cult status” and financial success while many “good” movies have been box office bombs.
Other premier products fail because of competitive actions.
![Page 16: Brand Failure](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042613/546e588eb4af9f5f058b465b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Using these potential causes of a product or brand failure may help to avoid committing those same errors. Learning from these “lessons” can be beneficial to avoid some of these pitfalls.

Common reasons for product failures
• High level executive push of an idea that does not fit the targeted market.
• Overestimated market size. • Ineffective promotion, including packaging
message, which may have used misleading or confusing marketing message about the product, its features, or its use.
![Page 18: Brand Failure](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042613/546e588eb4af9f5f058b465b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Incorrectly positioned product. • Not understanding the target market segment
and the branding process that would provide the most value for that segment.
• Incorrectly priced—too high and too low. • Excessive research and/or product
development costs. • Underestimating or not correctly understanding
competitive activity or retaliatory response.• Poor timing of distribution.
![Page 19: Brand Failure](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042613/546e588eb4af9f5f058b465b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• Misleading market research that did not accurately reflect the actual consumer’s behavior for the targeted segment.
• Conducted marketing research and ignored those findings.
• Key channel partners were not involved, informed, or both.
• Lower than anticipated margins.

OR
Something happens to break the bond between the customer and the brand.
when brands struggle or fail it is usually down to a distorted perception of either the brand, the competition or the market.
This altered view is a result of one of the following six deadly sins of branding:
![Page 21: Brand Failure](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042613/546e588eb4af9f5f058b465b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
DEADLY SINS OF BRANDING
Brand memory loss For old brands, as for old people, memory becomes an
increasing issue. When a brand forgets what it is supposed to stand for,
it runs into trouble. The most obvious case brand memory loss occurs when
a venerable, long-standing brand tries to create a radical new identity, such as when Coca-Cola tried to replace its original formula with New Coke.
The results were disastrous.
![Page 22: Brand Failure](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042613/546e588eb4af9f5f058b465b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
DEADLY SINS OF BRANDING
Brand egotism. Brands sometimes develop a tendency for
over-estimating their own importance, and their own capability.
This is evident when a brand believes it can support a market single-handedly, as Polaroid did with the instant photography market.
It is also apparent when a brand enters a new market for which it is clearly ill-suited, such as Harley Davidson trying to sell perfume.
![Page 23: Brand Failure](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042613/546e588eb4af9f5f058b465b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
DEADLY SINS OF BRANDING
Brand deception. ‘Human kind cannot bear very much reality,’
wrote T S Eliot. Neither can brands. Indeed, some brands see
the whole marketing process as an act of covering up the reality of their product. In extreme cases, the trend towards brand fiction can lead to downright lies. In an age where markets are increasingly connected, via the Internet and other technologies, consumers can no longer be deceived.
![Page 24: Brand Failure](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042613/546e588eb4af9f5f058b465b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
DEADLY SINS OF BRANDING
Brand fatigue. Some companies get bored with their
own brands. You can see this happening to products
which have been on the shelves for many years, collecting dust. When brand fatigue sets in creativity suffers, and so do sales.
Bata, HM Ambassador is a clear example
![Page 25: Brand Failure](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042613/546e588eb4af9f5f058b465b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
DEADLY SINS OF BRANDING
Brand paranoia. This is the opposite of brand ego and is most
likely to occur when a brand faces increased competition. Typical symptoms include:
a tendency to file lawsuits against rival companies,
a willingness to reinvent the brand every six months,
and a longing to imitate competitors.
![Page 26: Brand Failure](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042613/546e588eb4af9f5f058b465b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
DEADLY SINS OF BRANDING
Brand irrelevance. When a market radically evolves, the
brands associated with it risk becoming irrelevant and obsolete.
Brand managers must strive to maintain relevance by staying ahead of the category, as Kodak is trying to do with digital photography.
One more reason is gap between creativity and strategy
![Page 27: Brand Failure](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042613/546e588eb4af9f5f058b465b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Strategic thinkers are analytical, logical, and numerical.
Creative thinkers are intuitive ,emotional, visual .

Does the left brain know what the right brain is doing?

When both sides work together you can build a charismatic brand.
