Leveraging Branding for Long-Term Growth
Today, brands have become even more important than the products they represent: their stories travel quickly through social media and the Internet and across countries and cultures. A brand must be elastic enough to allow for category and product-line extensions, flexible enough to change with dynamic market conditions, consistent enough so that consumers won’t be confused, and focused enough to provide clear differentiation from the competition.
In this Soundview Live webinar, Leveraging Branding for Long-Term Growth, Barbara Kahn brings brand management into the 21st century, addressing how branding contributes to the purchase process. You’ll hear stories about how Coca-Cola, The Estée Lauder Companies Inc., Marriott, Apple, Starbucks, Campbell Soup Company, Southwest Airlines, and celebrities like Lady Gaga are leveraging their brands.
