INTRODUCTION TO BRAND MANAGEMENT
We live in a brand-conscious world. Here a pair of denims is not just denims but Levi‟s, Wrangler and Tommy Hilfiger. We talk of these brands as if they were our next door neighbours or our childhood buddies, and they indeed are that familiar! Nevertheless, how does a Tommy Hilfiger of New York, become a household name in Alaska? The answer is „brand management‟ – the art of planning, developing and directing marketing efforts to make a brand popular. A brand manager coordinates with the specialists of all major processes like production, research, marketing, sales and finance to come up with strategies to promote a particular brand or product. Creative? Yes. Easy? Not really. Read on to get to know more.
Details Of Course Curriculum
The course curriculum of brand management obviously revolves around methods to promote brands. This study also requires an extensive understanding of how branding evolved with communication. Branding has acquired a whole new meaning in the internet awareness era where competition is cut-throat. Hence, the curriculum also includes techniques of maintaining and redefining brands in the wake of aggressive competition.
General course curriculum for branding at both graduate and post-graduate levels remains similar. Only the depth of study differs.
