What is a brand?
A brand is an idea
and perceived value,
formed by its intended
audience, based on a
company’s culture,
product, and service.
A brand isn’t what we say it is…
it’s what people think it is
More than just a mark
 Logo
 symbolizes all the things you want your
customer to believe about you
 connects to the idea
 Idea behind the logo is key
Steps in the branding
process
 Market analysis
 Brand architecture
 A big idea
 Marketing communications
 Employee involvement
 Measurement
Coffee…or an experience?
 “We care about giving
our customers a
personal and enjoyable
experience in an
environment where they
can relax with a good
cup of coffee, share a
treat with friends, find a
gift for a family member
or discover new music.”
