Your brand has been more than a name or symbol, it really is that image with which your product is recognised, identified and searched for, differentiating it from the competition.

 

All the ideas, values, feelings and experiences that consumers associate with the product are implicit in the brand image.

 

Brand image Vs. identity

 

The tangible elements or not, representative of the values of a certain brand, are developed and contained in the logo, the color used in it, the design created for the brand, etc.

 

The emotions and values that are transmitted by the brand to its consumers are actually the elements that differentiate them and create a reaction of rapprochement and loyalty to your product.

 

Brand management ensures that your brand has an image that represents the emotions that lead to preference, standing out among the multiplicity existing in the market.
