SUMMARY
• A brand is a name, term, sign, symbol, design, or some
combination of these elements, intended to identify the
goods and services of one seller or group of sellers and to
differentiate them from those of competitors. The different
components of a brand names, logos, symbols, package
designs, and so on are called brand elements.
• Brands are valuable intangible assets that offer a number of
benefits to customers and firms and need to be managed
carefully. The key to branding is that consumers perceive
differences among brands in a product category.
SUMMARY
• Brand equity should be defined in terms of marketing effects
uniquely attributable to a brand. That is, different outcomes
result when a product or service is marketed under its brand
than when it is not.
• Building brand equity depends on three main factors: (1) The
initial choices for the brand elements or identities making up
the brand; (2) the way the brand is integrated into the
supporting marketing program; and (3) the associations
indirectly transferred to the brand by links to some other
entity (the company, country of origin, channel of distribution,
or another brand).
SUMMARY
• Brand audits measure “where the brand has been,” and
tracking studies measure “where the brand is now” and
whether marketing programs are having the intended effects.
• A branding strategy identifies which brand elements a firm
chooses to apply across the various products it sells. In a
brand extension, a firm uses an established brand name to
introduce a new product. Potential extensions must be judged
by how effectively they leverage existing brand equity to a
new product, as well as how effectively they contribute to the
equity of the parent brand in turn
SUMMARY
• Brands may expand coverage, provide protection, extend an
image, or fulfill a variety of other roles for the firm. Each
brand-name product must have a well-defined positioning to
maximize coverage, minimize overlap, and thus optimize the
portfolio.
• Customer equity is a concept that is complementary to brand
equity and reflects the sum of lifetime values of all customers
for a brand.

BUILDING BRAND EQUITY
Brand Elements Choice Criteria
Memorable
• How easily do consumers recall
and recognize the brand
element, and when—at both
purchase and consumption?
Meaningful
• Is the brand element credible?
Does it suggest the
corresponding category and a
product ingredient or the type of
person who might use the
brand?
Likable
• How aesthetically appealing is
the brand element? A recent
trend is for playful names that
also offer a readily available URL,
like Flickr photo sharing, a social
networking.
BUILDING BRAND EQUITY
Brand Elements Choice Criteria
Transferable
• Can the brand element introduce
new products in the same or different
categories?
Adaptable
• How adaptable and updatable is the
brand element? The face of Betty
Crocker has received more than
seven makeovers in 87 years, and she
doesn’t look a day over!
Protectable
• How legally protectable is the brand
element? Kleenex, Scotch Tape,
Xerox, and Fiberglass should retain
their trademark rights and not
become generic.
BUILDING BRAND EQUITY
Slogans
• Slogans are an extremely efficient means to build brand equity. They
can function as useful “hooks” to help consumers grasp what the
brand is and what makes it special.
BUILDING BRAND EQUITY
Secondary Sources Of Brand Knowledge
BUILDING BRAND EQUITY
Secondary Sources Of Brand Knowledge
• The third and final way to build brand equity is, in effect, to
create brand equity by linking the brand to other information in
memory that conveys meaning to consumers
• These “secondary” brand associations can link the brand to
sources, such as the company itself (through branding
strategies), to countries or other geographical regions (through
identification of product origin), and to channels of distribution
(through channel strategy); as well as to other brands (through
ingredient or co-branding), characters (through licensing),
spokespeople (through endorsements), sporting or cultural
events (through sponsorship), or some other third party sources
(through awards or reviews).

MANAGING BRAND EQUITY
McDonald - Answer
1. What are McDonald’s core brand values? Have these changed
over the years?
• McDonald’s core brand values are quality, service, cleanliness, and
value. McDonald’s, for a time, got away from its core brand values
but started the “plan to win,” helping it to re-focus on a better,
higher-quality consumer experience.
2. How has McDonald’s grown its brand equity over the years? Has
McDonald’s changed in different economic times or in different
parts of the world? Explain.
• McDonald’s adjusts product offerings to fill unmet needs – like
relatively lower cost, healthy alternatives for moms when the
recession affected people’s ability to eat out at sit-down restaurants
and $1 menu options for lower income consumers and teens. It also
redesigned restaurants with consumer needs in mind. It also
expands its consumer base through product offerings like McCafe
and via global growth.
3. What risks do you feel McDonald’s will face in the future?
