INTRO TO
BRANDING &
MARKETING
WHAT IS A BRAND?• Name given to a product of service from a specific
source; a brand name
• More to products & services than their names
• What your customer thinks and feels when he or she hears your brand name
Your brand name exists objectively; people can see it.
It’s fixed.
But your brand exists only in someone’s mind.
WHAT IS MARKETING?• Actively promoting a product or service
• “Buy our product because it is better than theirs”
• Branding should underlie any marketing effort
The brand does not explicitly say “buy me”. Instead, it says “This is what I am. This is why I
exist. If you agree, if you like me, you can buy me, support me, and
recommend me to your friends.
Marketing unearths and activates buyers.
Branding makes loyal customers, advocates, even evangelists out of
those who buy.
So???
I’m a teacher…
How does this relate to me?
