Branding is not an “image strategy”
Brands are built in a highly “rational” way

“Branding/brand strategy”: What is it?

Positioned below corporate strategy and above marketing strategy are “branding” and “brand strategy.”

It is also the creation of guidelines that let everyone involved, inside and outside the company, define “what goal to work toward,” “what tone and manner to keep,” and “what to offer, and to whom” in “words” and “images” so that they can work efficiently.

A strategy focused on “products,” one of the 3 elements of business

A business is made up of 3 things: people, money, and products. Of these, the strategy focused specifically on “products” is brand strategy.

Products and services change extremely quickly, and the brand is a higher-level concept above them. As concern for hedging risk grows, we are now in an era where products are chosen by their “brand.”

Rebranding is not something done through advertising

Rebranding starts with reviewing your brand strategy. If you reverse the order, only the expression gets updated, while the criteria used for decisions inside the company stay the same.

Even so, the reality is that few companies have mapped out a brand strategy yet.
