This Ultimate model of branding, a term
often used in business, marketing and design.
We attempts to present a comprehensive model of brand. It is framed around four main ideas:
1) a brand is more than a name or symbol
2) creating a great customer experience is
the essence of good branding
3) perceptions of a brand can be measured
4) brands are a form of sign
