something to which the consumer can relate, and an effective brand will increase its
Brand Components/1 brand equity by having a consistent set of traits. This is the added-value that a brand
gains, aside from its functional benefits. There are five main types of brand personalities:
excitement, sincerity, ruggedness, competence and sophistication.
Customers are more likely to purchase a brand if its personality is similar to their own.
Examples of traits for the different types of brand personalities:
- Excitement: carefree, spirited, youthful
1. Brand - Sincerity: genuine, kind, family-oriented, thoughtful
- Ruggedness: rough, tough, outdoors, athletic
Personality - Competence: successful, accomplished, influential, a leader
- Sophistication: elegant, prestigious, pretentious
The marketer and owner of the brand has a vision of what
the brand must be and do for the consumers.[4]

5. Brand Components/2
One of the primary ways we make sense of our world
and our place in it, is through stories. The same is true
of brands. Brands are the stories that unite us all in a
common purpose within an enterprise, and connect us
with the people we serve on the outside. These brand
stories give meaning to who we are and what we do.
They’re a special kind of story—they’re strategic; they 1. Brand
build on themselves chapter by chapter, over time; they Personality
grow as they respond to changing customers and
changing markets.
Brand stories are what drive our critical interactions
with our customers and stakeholders. To use a
common marketing formula, they are what propel
Awareness, Consideration, Trial and Buying. They are
also what ensure the repetition of this process—the 5. Brand 2. Brand

Ultimately, it is your brand story that helps you answer
that most fundamental of all questions: “Why?” Why do

do your customers need you? Why is it that you’re
better able to meet their needs than anyone else? Why

does your logo look this way? Why do your press

to marketers and managers alike: Why would someone
make that critical decision to use your products and
services over those of anyone else?
