Importance of Building a Brand

Building a strong brand is crucial regardless of the vertical. Brands shape the perceived value of a product and play a critical role in differentiation, customer relationships, and growth. A well-constructed brand requires a deep understanding of the business and category context, which is analyzed through a cultural lens. Brand strategy should be developed with input from the entire organization and should shape internal culture and policies.
