The Influence of Brand Equity and Brand Identity on Brand Extension StrategiesHein, Katja, Bode, Deike January 2015 (has links)
The times of following a ‘one brand – one product’ strategy have long past. Nowadays, firms are increasingly recognizing the true value of their brands and are starting to use these as a source of competitive advantage. By introducing new products under an existing brand name, firms leverage the power of their brands and thus, aim at benefiting from the success of the parent brand. Brands are amongst the most valuable assets owned by a company, which encourages them to engage in brand extensions. The authors mainly distinguish between three brand extension strategy types: line extension, vertical line extension and category extension. Previous quantitative studies have identified that particularly brand equity and brand identity stand out as significantly influencing brand extension strategies. Therefore, this qualitative case study further explores how these two branding constructs affect firms’ brand extension decisions. While most past studies investigated the potential success of fictitious brands, this study performs qualitative interviews with brand and product managers of eight real case firms operating in the FMCG industry in Germany. The empirical data indicates that the pressure to innovate rises, as more and more new extension products are being introduced to the market in recent years. Nevertheless, the majority of firms opt for line extension strategies, while only few dare to enter a further distanced market segment. Hence, the condition of a “fit” between the parent brand and extension product is mostly accounted for. The study further suggests that a brand without strong brand equity will not be able to perform brand extensions at any level. However, even if brands do benefit from strong brand equity, firms may adopt divergent strategies, which is mainly dependent on the brand’s identity. The research results show that narrowly defined brands, predominantly distinguishable by concrete product features and physical facets, restrict the firms’ capability to extend a brand beyond its original product line. Contrarily, brands with a more abstract or value based identity provide more opportunities to stretch further from the parent brand. An emotional brand that succeeds in building a relationship to the customer, in representing a distinct personality or telling a story, is able to extend to a new product category. The study concludes that certain brands may be under-exploited, as they do not leverage their high equity and identity capabilities in terms of extending the brand to a further distanced market segment. As a result of the findings, two Brand Extension Strategy Matrices are constructed, setting the brand identity abstraction level (product or value based identity) into relation to (1) brand equity and (2) the identity “fit” of an extension product and the parent brand. Each of these two matrices explains the strategic consequences of a given set of brand equity and brand identity.

Brand-sponsored versus consumer-generated online brand communities : a thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Business Studies in Marketing at Massey University, Auckland, New ZealandMcKenzie, Stephanie J January 2009 (has links)
This research focuses on online brand communities from a brand management perspective. The purpose of this study is to contribute to understanding of online brand communities by examining differences in brand-sponsored and consumer-generated online brand communities, and to extend research into online brand communities by examining online brand communities for a sports brand. The first phase of this study investigates how consumption practices differ in brand-sponsored and consumer-generated online brand communities. Online brand communities for the All Blacks brand were selected as a case study for this research. The All Blacks brand-sponsored and consumer-generated online brand communities were observed for eight weeks and afterwards discussions in both communities were analysed for two weeks to identify consumption practices. Ethical issues pertinent to this research design meant raw comments and discussions could not be collected and instead discussions were immediately analysed through a coding process. The second phase of this study investigates marketing industry expert views on brand-sponsored and consumer-generated online brand communities. Interviews with three representatives from service and sports organisations were held. The findings from this research contribute to literature on online brand communities by demonstrating brand-sponsored and consumer-generated online brand communities differ in consumption practices, language, self-expression, modes of interaction, and legitimacy. This study also extends research into online brand communities by investigating online brand communities for sports brands. Findings imply there are minimal differences between online brand communities for service or sports brands compared with online brand communities for goods. The outcomes from this research may also have a number of implications for marketers, hoping to capitalise on the growth of online brand communities.

Le système de management de marque : médiateur de la relation entre l'orientation marché et la performance marque : Une comparaison sur la base de cinq secteurs d'activité / The brand management system : mediator in the relationship between market orientation and brand performanceDunes, Mathieu 12 December 2014 (has links)
Les systèmes de management de marque (BMS) sont d’une importance centrale pour contrôler de façon efficace le management de marque et mettre en valeur la performance de l’entreprise. Une difficulté actuelle concerne l’évaluation des pratiques des managers de marque et leurs contributions à la performance. Cette recherche doctorale tente de pallier cette limite de plusieurs manières : (1) en identifiant les pratiques saillantes et composantes du BMS ; (2) en définissant une échelle de mesure du BMS ; (3) en testant son rôle médiateur dans la relation entre le concept d’orientation marché et la performance marque ; (4) en déterminant globalement , mais aussi sectoriellement, les pratiques saillantes du management de marque qui contribuent à la performance marque mesurée de façon subjective et objective, ainsi que les effets ; (5) en étudiant le rôle de variables qui pourraient modérer cet effet médiateur. Les résultats d’une analyse de sentier auprès de 359 managers de marque confirment l’existence de l’effet médiateur du système de management de marque. Nous démontrons qu’il existe également un chemin médiateur passant par cet effet et ayant un impact sur la performance subjective de la marque puis la performance financière objective. Les analyses multi-groupes mettent en avant des différences sectorielles dans la valorisation des pratiques du management de marque et de l’orientation marché, fournissant ainsi des éléments d’information pour la prise de décision du top management. / Brand management systems (BMSs) are of prime importance to monitor an effective brand management and enhance firms’ performance. The lack of research about brand management practices makes the evaluation of their impact on performance difficult to assess. In order to fill this gap, this doctoral research tries to: (1) identify the BMS’s main practices and components; (2) define a BMS scale; (3) test the BMS mediating role in the relationship between market orientation and brand performance; (4) determine to what extent brand management systems contributes to brand performance, measured at subjective and objective levels, globally and in five sectors; (5) study the moderating effects of firms’ and sectors’ characteristics. The research was carried out with a sample of 359 managers. The results demonstrate the mediating effect of BMS on subjective brand performance to objective financial performance. Multigroup analyses show moderating effects which influence BMS and market orientation valuation, which provides relevant information for top managers’ decision making.

Personlig varumärkesuppbyggnad och sociala medier : Ur den individuella idrottarens perspektiv / Personal Branding and social media from the perspective of the individual athlete.Wolter, Casper, Bergström, Anton January 2020 (has links)
Idrottssektorn är inte vad den en gång i tiden varit, kommersialiseringen och professionaliseringen har medfört ett ökat resurskrav på idrottssektorn. Idrottsföreningar och individuella idrottare måste idag arbeta för att bygga upp ett starkt varumärke för att införskaffa sig de resurser som krävs för att bedriva den önskade idrotten. Med hjälp av digitaliseringen har det öppnats upp nya möjligheter och utmaningar för att marknadsföra sig och sociala medier har blivit ett av de viktigaste verktygen inom marknadsföring. Syftet med denna studie är att öka kunskapen om hur en individuell idrottare kan arbeta för att bygga upp ett personligt varumärke och på vilket sätt idrottaren i fråga kan använda sig av Instagram som verktyg. För att undersöka detta har vi genomfört åtta intervjuer med professionella individuella idrottare för att sedan analysera svaren mot befintlig teori. Vår studie fokuserar på Instagram och det vi kan se men våran studie är att det finns tre nyckelfaktorer som individuella idrottare bör arbeta med för att bygga upp det personliga varumärket med hjälp av Instagram. De faktorerna är att skapa en stark identitet, vara en attraktiv samarbetspartner och skapa en relation till sina följare. Bidraget studien har gett är en ökad kunskap för hur professionella individuella idrottare arbetar med sociala medier för att bygga upp det personliga varumärket på sociala medier för individuella idrottare. Avslutningsvis kan vi konstatera att det finns stora marknadsförings möjligheter genom Instagram. / The sport sector is not what it once was, commercialization and professionalism has resulted with higher economic demands on the sport sector.
