BRAND DEVELOPMENT MODEL

ENHANCING A BRAND IN THE MARKET:

• As marketers, we strive to communicate with consumers in the ways that they prefer.

• In fact, marketing is becoming increasingly consumer-driven. For example, with the rise of social media marketing, brands can communicate directly with their customers to develop products that sell, and consumers essentially become product “co-creators.”

ENHANCING A BRAND IN THE MARKET:

• Today, 80% of online content is user-generated, and content will increasingly come from a customer’s peers.

• Marketers need advocates buzzing about their products as people increasingly receive information about brands from their social connections.
