In prevalent concept of marketing, brand culture is a static identification, treated as
corporate prerogative which removed from culture and consumers. Generally marketers

conventional marketing provides the tools or principles for managers or marketers to
conduct branding such as 4P, 7P, Brand Equity Model, etc., to reach high and rapid
market share. With growth of diverse business environment and consumer behavior,
brands only have long and deep relationships with consumers are more possible to be
iconic and sustainable. It attracts people to actively access and to interplay with brand

approach especially in those brands which consumers will access for purpose of
self-expression through consuming. The five dimensions help readers to look upon the
important aspects in brand culture and how it works actively in marketing approach.

co-creation is developed and kept in cultural discourses. At the end, brand culture as
marketing approach is helpful to review whole marketing strategy in consumer¡¦s
