9.  Basically, Brand equity is a phrase used in
the marketing industry which describes the value of
having a well-known brand name, based on the idea that
the owner of a well-known brand name can generate
more money from products with that brand name than
from products with a less well known name, as
consumers believe that a product with a well-known
name is better than products with less well known
names.
 It’s the added value endowed upon products and services
 The positive differential effect that knowing brand name
has on customer response to the product or service.

10. It stresses the importance of the brand in
marketing strategies
 Is defined in terms of marketing effects uniquely
attributable to brand.
 In time, a brand comes to embody a promise about
the goods it identifies—a promise about quality,
performance, or other dimensions of value,
which can influence consumers' choices among
competing products. When a brand's promise
extends beyond a particular product, its owner
may leverage it to enter new markets. For all
these reasons, a brand can hold tremendous
value, which is known as brand equity.

12.  Brand equity arises from the differences in
customer response.,
 Differences in response are a result of
customer’s brand knowledge, all thoughts,
feelings, images, experiences and beliefs
associated with the brand
 Brand equity is reflected in perceptions,
preferences, and behaviour related to all
aspects of the marketing of a brand.

13. Lifebuoy made a conscious shift in its
segmentation and positioning from its previous
focus on men to a warmer and more versatile
benefit of health for the entire family.

15.  Brand asset valuator Model ( Developed by Advertising
agency Young and Rubicam)
 It defines 4 pillars of Brand Equity:
 1 Energised differentiation-It’s the degree to
which the brand is seen differently from
others.
 2 Relevance measures the appropriateness
and breadth of a brand’s appeal.
 3 Esteem measures perceptions of quality
and loyalty.
 4 Knowledge measures how aware and
consumers are with the brand.

17. Brandz mode is a model developed by Millward Brown
and WPP which is based on brand strength at the
heart which lies the Brand Dynamics Pyramid.
The Pyramid in next slide shows the number of consumers
who have reached what level.
Presence- Active familiarity based on past trail, saliency or
knowledge of brand promise.
Relevance- Relevance to consumer’s needs, in the right
price range or in the consideration set .
Performance- Belief that it delivers acceptable product
performance and is on the consumer’s short list.
Advantage- Belief that the brand has an emotional or
rational advantage over other brands in the category.
Bonding- Rational and emotional attachments to the brand
to the exclusion of most other brands.

19. Customer Based Brand Equity
Model(Brand Resonance Model)-
 According to this model, enacting the four
steps means establishing a pyramid of six. This
model emphasizes on the duality od brands-
the rational route of building brands is on
the left side of the pyramid and emotional
route on the right side.

21.  Creating significant brand equity requires reaching the top
of the brand pyramid, which occurs only if the right building
blocks are put into place:
 1 Brand Salience is how often and how easily customers
think of the brand under various purchase or consumption
situations.
 2 Brand Performer is how well the product or service
meets customers; functional needs.
 3 Brand imagery describes the extrinsic properties of the
product or service,.
 4 Brand judgements focus on consumers’ own personal
opinions and evaluations.
 5 Brand feelings are customers’ emotional responses and
reactions with respect to the brand.
 6 Brand resonance describes the relationship customers
have with the brand and the extent to which they feel
they’re “in sync” with it.

22.  Marketers build brand equity by creating the right
brand knowledge structures with the right
customers.
 1 Identifying initial choices for the brand elements
 2 The product and service and all accompanying
marketing activities and supporting marketing
programs
 3 Other associations indirectly transferred to the
brand by linking it some other entity

23. Examples:
 Recently, Airtel changed its logo so that the “a” in the
brand name represents “air” and the deeper red has a
positive meaning, especially in Africa where the brand
is developing strong footprints.
 Virgin mobile , one of the later entrants in the mobile
service space in India, uses edgy and humorous
advertisements that depict pranks and mischievous
acts by youngsters. They connect the young
consumers and help the brand in creating an edgy
attitude with a touch of irreverence.

24.  Microsoft chose the big name Bing for its
new search engine because it felt it
unambiguously conveyed search and the
“aha” moment of finding what the a person is
looking for.

42.  The BRAND VALUE CHAIN :

executions.
