BRIEF INSIGHT
SAMIR KUMAR

5. Nation branding is a concept first
coined by Simon Anholt in 1996

6. What is nation branding ?
 Anholt’s thesis presented
governments with the idea that it
indeed was possible to brand states
as if they were products.
 A nation gets a brand identity based on
its strength of delivering a quality
product consistently over time (EG:
Switzerland for tourism and banking,
USA for freedom, Italy for food and
fashion, etc.)

7. Is it important?
 The fate of nations doesn't only depend on their
relationships with the governments of other
nations
