closeA corporate brand is used not only to ensure the application of business strategy but also to design it. Brands are increasingly becoming cultures, manners of seeing life and ways of doing things that have to be shared with customers, although they first have to be cultures created and defended by employees.
There are still companies today that have yet to apply strategic management to their corporate brand, despite there being more and more companies, even in the mass commodity sector, that are beginning to use it as backing for their commercial brands. This approach to management ensures, on the one hand, the conveyance of meaning between the two and, on the other, the contribution the company’s own corporate reputation makes to product brands.
