  • a practitioner led strategic place Brand Management model
    Journal of Marketing Management, 2013
    Co-Authors: Sonya Hanna, Jennifer Rowley
    Abstract:

    AbstractAs a relatively new field, research into place Branding is predominately case-study based, focusing specifically on single place entities. This paper reports on an exploratory study that uses semi-structured interviews with place-Branding practitioners working in various geographical locations (towns, cities, regions). The study tests the relevance of the components of strategic place Brand Management and elucidates their meaning and explores the relationships between these components. The research confirms the relevance of the components but suggests that relationships between components may be context dependent. The study makes both theoretical and managerial contributions by offering a refined, holistic, and new practitioner-led strategic place Brand-Management model along with structural meanings for each component that describe to those embarking on the process the key processes, activities, and success factors that are integral for an effective place-Branding approach.

  • towards a strategic place Brand Management model
    Journal of Marketing Management, 2011
    Co-Authors: Sonya Hanna, Jennifer Rowley
    Abstract:

    Abstract Using earlier research into models of place Branding-Management processes, this paper develops a multi-level conceptual model of strategic place Brand Management designed to support managers in embracing a holistic approach to place Brand Management. The model identifies the following components for attention and activity: place Brand evaluation; Brand infrastructure relationships, including infrastructure (regeneration) and stakeholder engagement (Management); place Brand articulation; and Brand communications. The model identifies the influences and action processes between these components, including Brand identity and architecture, influencing Brand experience. Existing place Branding models take different perspectives on the Branding process – respectively, relationship Management, communications, and strategic planning; none of these models are comprehensive and neither are they widely adopted or tested. This paper proposes an integrative model that builds on and subsumes these earlier mode...

  • strategic Brand Management new approaches to creating and evaluating Brand equity
    Research Papers in Economics, 1992
    Co-Authors: Jeannoel Kapferer
    Abstract:

    Thousands of companies now recognize that Brand names are their most valuable assets, but too often Branding is merely a tactical decision, almost an afterthought. In this thought-provoking work, Jean-Noel Kapferer, an international authority on Brand Management and marketing, provides the most comprehensive model for strategic Brand Management to date. With hundreds of examples and case studies of Brands throughout the world, Kapferer deals with the very essence and culture of Branding and provides an overall philosophy for every aspect of Brand Management. At the heart of the book is Kapferer's concept of the Brand as a pyramid with three levels: the apex is the kernel or core identity; the middle is the style or personality; and at the bases are the underlying themes and advertising programs. A Brand, Kapferer argues, is not a product, but the product's essence, its meaning, and its direction. Strategic Brand Management starts with a holistic understanding of this gestalt rather than its component parts: the Brand name, logo, design or packaging, and image. This gestalt must be managed, not just in marketing, but throughout the entire company. The most successful Brand managers, Kapferer explains, search for new opportunities and new markets through the explosive phenomenon of global Branding. Kapferer takes the reader through a comprehensive list of benefits, dangers, and pitfalls, and also step-by-step through each of the globalization phases -- from name transitions to maintaining consistency. He describes the conditions under which global Branding works best, and the appropriateness of a multi-domestic marketing mix as opposed to a global mix. He also dealswith the corporate barriers to having global Brands and the structural changes that corporations may have to undergo if they are to fully maximize the benefits of global Branding. This hook, already a standard reference in Europe, brings Branding in the U.S. into the 1990s.

  • personality driven luxury Brand Management
    Journal of Brand Management, 2018
    Co-Authors: Klaus Heine, Glyn Atwal, Sandrine Crenerricard, Michel Phan
    Abstract:

    This paper combines the Brand personality and Brand anthropomorphization concepts and introduces the notion of personality-driven Brand Management especially for the context of luxury Branding. A central part of this paper is a study about the major dimensions of luxury Brand personality. Results suggest that there exist five distinct luxury personality dimensions including tradition, modesty, elitism, eccentricity and sensuality. They help Brand managers to develop distinct Brand personalities by encouraging them to decide between contrasting traits. After presenting the major strategies to bring a luxury Brand personality alive, the paper discusses the benefits of personality-based Brand Management and concludes with some major lessons learned.

    Co-Authors: Michel Phan, Ricarda Thomas, Klaus Heine
    Abstract:

    Abstract Social networks, and social media as the tools, are everywhere in the marketer’s world today. Their growing importance was quickly acknowledged and they were casted one of the top research priorities by the trustees of the Marketing Science Institute (MSI) in 2006. Brands, and in particular luxury Brands with their high Brand equity, ought to have a clear understanding of what social media could do for them, and develop a clear strategy of how they could enhance customers’ experience and perceptions of their Brands. Social media are highly related with the concept of Web 2.0, which go back to O’Reilly (2005) who realized that the companies that had survived the dot-com bubble in 2001 seemed to have something in common. These shared principles and practices are the modern second era of the web that can be described as Web 2.0. Beyond the social classification of content by tagging (folksonomy), Web 2.0 pages allow and encourage the creation of user-generated content. This includes creating and sha...
