What Is A Brand?

A brand is made up of the tangible and intangible
associations consumers form about a company and its
products/services.

Brand has its own unique elements:
 Visual (logos, ads, offices)
 Emotional (feelings from advertising or direct
experiences)
 Cultural (“how we do things around here”)

The brand is the experience that is delivered to
clients every day.
