What's the difference between a 'brand'
and a 'strong brand name'? ... The value of a
brand is built over time by continuous investments in marketing,
research and development, constant product and service quality,
adaptations to new trends and technologies. This results in
continuous innovations and improvements not only in the product
offered but also in the overall brand image. A brand is an
intangible marketing/business asset that helps people identify a
company, product, or individual. However, it is often confused with
things like logos, slogans, or other recognizable marks, which are
marketing tools to help promote goods and services
John Stewart, co‐founder of the strong brand QUAKER OATS,
once highlighted "If this business were split up, I would
give you the land and bricks and cement, and I would keep the
brands and trademarks, and I would fare better than
you".
