Brandið þitt er öflugasta tólið í markaðssetningunni þinni. Ég hef fjallað um í það í fyrri póstum og þá staðreynd að við erum alltaf með brand, hvort sem við ætlum okkur það eða ekki. Ég hef líka talað um að þú þurfir að finna út hvert brandið þitt er, áður en þú getur farið að móta það í það sem þú vilt að það sé. Spurningin er þá, hvernig viltu að brandið þitt sé? Í dag eru allir að tala um að hugsa út fyrir kassann og vá hvað ég gæti ekki verið meira sammála um nauðsyn þess! Hinsvegar, þegar kemur að branding, þá þarftu að hugsa um að vera í kassa. Einskonar brand kassa. Fyrsta skrefið … [Read more...]
Marketing is branding
One of the reasons I fell in love with the subject of marketing was that when I did my MBA I quickly realised that marketing is the very heart of every business. Without marketing there can be no business. Non-marketing people often hate it when us marketing nerds harp on about how “business = marketing”. The thing is though, it’s true.

Branding: What Is Your Brand?
There is one important aspect of your marketing that you always have, whether you are aware of it or not, whether you consciously create and manage it or not and whether you care or not.

What Is A Brand?
Many times, when talking to entrepreneurs and small business owners, I find that there is confusion about the concept of brand and branding. Not surprisingly. It is one of these things that the branding experts have managed to shroud in mystery and fill with jargon charging gazillions for development of brand strategy, brand associations, brand equity and other such fancy sounding things. It is also one of these things that people tend to associate with big business and global corporations. The Nikes, Apples and Googles of this world.
