Social Values of brands in the Web 2.0 era and the role of reputation

What does society expect from brands in this new century? What new expectations do stakeholders have regarding companies? What new universe of meanings make a brand something valuable for society, as well as for companies? Is sustainability of rising importance for new brands?

Brands have traditionally differentiated themselves through three types of values: functional (more linked to rational elements of needs satisfaction or hygienic factors), emotional (related to issues such as empathy and the understanding with the brand) and self-expressive (those which visualize and reaffirm elements of identity).
