From 'global marketing' to 'relationship marketing', from 'b2b marketing' to '1 to 1 marketing', from 'viral marketing' to 'ideas marketing', the Collins Dictionary of Marketing is the ideal guide to this all-pervasive subject. Brand - a brand is a combination of attributes that give a company or organisation a distinctive identity and value relative to its competitors, its stakeholders and its customers. The attributes that make a brand are both tangible (for example, a name, a visual logo or trademark, services, people) and intangible (such as personality, reputation, mental associations, a promise, an expectation or set of values) which, together, create a memorable and relevant BRAND IMAGE in the eye and mind of the beholder. A strong brand is often seen to enable either customer loyalty or to permit premium pricing of goods and services and to increase the value of companies.
