What does brand management and brand communication mean for companies?

In modern society people are flooded with information. Therefore, clues ("anchors") are needed that address both rational and emotional needs. In companies this anchor is the brand. It gives a company a character that consumers can quickly recognise and orient themselves to. This distinctiveness – the brand identity – is at the same time a capital stock that must be built up and maintained through a suitable brand strategy and an appropriately aligned marketing communication.

Customers and consumers associate the corporate brand with certain characteristics, attributes or services that distinguish the product or service from comparable competitive offers, provide orientation, inspire confidence and, ideally, encourage purchase. To achieve this goal, a brand must be managed. Accordingly, brand leadership or brand management refers to the development (“branding”) and further development of a brand (“brand management”) over a longer period of time. Goals can be: Introduction of a new brand, raising awareness of a brand or harmonizing the external and internal image of a brand. 

A brand can be adapted to the requirements of the future in various ways: By modernising the appearance (corporate design), by recharging the brand with a contemporary, competitive identity (corporate identity) or other suitable marketing instruments such as brand extension by introducing a product line or brand transfer, in which the products of another manufacturer are marketed under their own brand.

Effective brand management – especially in large international companies – is facilitated by globally accessible online brand management platforms (extranets). Such solutions regulate all brand parameters. And the connected asset management tool manages logos, photos and templates uniformly in a central location. In practice this means: Fast help and support for all employees who work with the brand on a daily basis.
