By combining strategic thinking with practical business perspectives, the book offers a clear understanding of contemporary brand management practices.
The book aims to develop the reader's understanding of branding principles and strategic brand development, enabling effective management of brand identity, market positioning, and long-term business value in diverse organisational settings.
