Hint: it’s not a company’s logo or advertising.
Those things are controlled by the company. Instead, a brand is a customer’s gut feeling about a product, service, or company.

Brand =/= identity.Friday, January 29, 2010
[A brand is] the association of a sound/image (the name ‘American Express’, the image of the Green Card) with an idea or expectation or experience (perceived values, a service promise and usage satisfaction).

In this example, the American Express brand is neither solely the name and logo, nor the content of expectation and experiences, it is the association of the two to each other.

The only word that comes close it reputation.
Your personal reputation, like a company’s brand, lies outside your control.
It is not what you say it is—it’s what they say it is. The best you can do is influence it.

What does brand strategy matter?
Friday, January 29, 2010
Value is created when people reckon that a brand offers them something worth their while and they are persuaded to provide something in return... their time, money, attention, allegiance, brainpower and so on.

As with any organism, an organizations’ highest purpose is survival. And the only way to survive is to facilitate sustainable value exchanges between itself and its stakeholders.
The goal of [brand strategy]... is to offer a positive context for these value exchanges.
