BRAND ANATOMY -1
Essence is the basic idea behind the brand. This essence translates into benefits .
These benefits should be converted to specificattributes.
Ultimately it is these benefits and attributes that formwhat he calls Brand Anatomy.
For instance essence of a brand like Close-up is youth.(Typically toothpaste uses the plank of dental health prevents cavities, dental decay prevention etc.).
This essence translates into benefits like joy, fun,energy & modernity.

BRAND IDENTITY PRISM -2
Elements of the Brand Identity prism Kapferer represents brand identity as a six sided
prism
Six faces of the prism are
1.Physique 2.Personality 3. Culture,4.Relationship 5.Reflection & 6. Self Image.
Physique: is the basis of the brand. The physique of Philips is technology and
reliability, while for the brand Tata it is trust. MRF itwill be strength & reliability.

Brand Identity Prism -3
1. PhysiqueBrand first of all physical specifications &
qualities. It is brands back bone the tangible
values added. If brand is a flower then stem is its physique.Traditionally branding works on positioning
the product relying on certain key productand brand attributes /benefits.
-

Physique
The first step in defining a product is todefine its physical product what is itconcretely? What does it look like? What
does it do?Picture of famous coca-cola bottle in its
cans.
By showing the traditional bottle, cokeaims to remind us of its roots.

2. Brand Personality: It answers the question, what happens to
this brand if it became a person.
It can be human being or animated objectsor animals.
Brand has a personality. By communicating it
gradually builds up character.Highly used in advertising to bring / project
all the intangibles associated with brand.
-

36/70
Brand Personality:
It has been the main focus of advertisingsince 1970s.
Easiest way to creating personality is tohave a brand spokesperson.
Brand identity is the personality facet of
the source. It should not be confused withSelf image which is a portrayal of the idealreceiver.

3. Culture :
Brand is a culture. Every product dorepresent this culture it derives & is a meansof communication.
It is the set of values feeding the brandsinspiration. It refers to the basic principlesgoverning the brand in its outward signs.
Mercedes embodies German values. Order prevailseven at 260 km/hr landscape may be whizzing by,but the Merc remains stable and unperturbed.

Culture
Culture is what links a brand to the firmwhen both share the same name.
Because of its culture Nestle has notsucceeded in conveying the image of afun & enjoyable brand.
Maggi does not carry Nestle Logo.
-

Culture
Symbolizes the organization, its country-of-originand the values it stand for.
India is known for its traditional remedies which iswhy Balsara, Dabur, Zandu evoke a goodresponse abroad.
Germany for its precision engineering, Japan forconsumer electronics and US for services.
Mercedes Benz, Hitachi, Fed Ex, MC-Donaldsbenefit from this. IBM, Coca-cola, Nike and Levis stands for
American culture.
-

40/70
Culture
Brand culture plays an essential role indifferentiating the brand. This facet is the onethat helps to differentiate the luxury brands themost because it refers to their source.
Calvin Klein's minimalism, and Benetton'scontroversy orientation provide a set of valuesand different from that of Esprit.
Cultural facets is the key to understanding thedifferences between Nike, Reebok and Adidas.

4. Relationship: A brand is a relationship. Indeed, brands are often
at the crux of transactions and exchanges
between people. Its the hand shake between the consumer and the
organization.
The relationship with Colgate is one of depe-
ndebility (oral hygiene) and that with Saffolaedible oil is one of safety.
-

Relationship
This is particularly true for brands in the servicesector and also for retailers.
Yves Saint Laurent brand functions with charm:
the underlying idea of a love affair permeatesboth its products and advertising.
Christian Diors symbolizes another type of
relationship: one that is grandiose, ostentatious,the desire to shine like gold.
-
8/14/2019 Christies
43/70
Relationship
This facet defines the mode of conduct thatmost people will identify with the brand.
The way the brand acts, delivers services and
relates to its customers.Nike suggests a peculiar relationship based on
provocation, it encourages us to let loose (letsdo it).
IBM symbolizes orderliness, while Appleconveys friendliness. Moulinex defines itself asthe friend of women.

5. Reflection: Theconsumers perception of what the brand
stands for. Pepsi stand for young, while Cokecuts across all age groups.
When asked on views about car brands, peopleimmediately answer in terms of the brandsperceived client type.For young people, for
fathers; for show offs; for old folks etc. Brand will always tend to build a reflection or an
image of the buyer or user.
-
8/14/2019 Christies
45/70
Reflection
Reflection and target (group) often gets mixed up.
Target describes the brands potential buyer oruser.
Reflecting the customer is not the target group.
Customer should be reflected as he/she wishes tobe seen as a result of using the brand.
Pepsi for instance has a much higher clientele thanthe 15-20 year old, narrow segment which its Ads
projects. How can such a paradox be explained.
-
8/14/2019 Christies
46/70
Reflection
How can such a paradox be explained For the younger segment (8-14 year olds) Pepsi
embodies their dream, of what they want to bewhen they grow up.
Youth identifies with the heroes.
For adults they represent a certain way of lifeand of certain values rather than of a narrowlydefined age group.
Thus the brands brings in 40 year olds also toidentify with this special way of life.
-
8/14/2019 Christies
47/70
Reflection
The confusion between reflection and target isquite frequent and causes problems.
Many managers show in their ads - theirconsumers as the way they are.
Fallacy behind this is - Consumers indeed usebrands to enhance their identity.
In the ready-to-wear industry, the obsession tolook younger should concern the brandsreflection, and not necessarily their target.

6. Self Image:
Finally a brand speaks to our self image.
If reflection is targets outward mirror, self image isthe consumers internal mirror.
What the consumer thinks of himself. Mercedesowner tells himself that as he belong to the elite he
is treating himself to the best car. Porsche owners simply want to prove themselves
that they have the ability to buy such a car.

Self Image
Even if you dont practice any sports, Lacosteclients inwardly picture themselves as membersof an elegant sports club
An open club with no race, sex or agediscrimination but endows its members withdistinction.
This works because sports is universal.

Brand imagery association based on the user type may
result in a profiling of actual users or more aspirational oridealized users.

factors (lifestyle). Anotherset of associations is based on conditions when the
product should be bought and used.

of buying (super markets, specialty stores) and ease ofpurchase or any reward attached.

Brands may also take on personality traits.
Brand like a person can be characterized as beingmodern, old fashioned, lively, exotic etc.
Advertising is most influential in creating brand
personality as it can project the brand in theusage/user based situation.
Personification through brand characters (Marlboro cigarette,Lux and Bollywood heroines) or using user imagery
(Mountain dew dudes) or product animation techniques(Bajaj Kawasaki, Fido Dido of 7-up)

Behavioral loyalty is depicted in terms of repeatedpurchase.

Brand Resonance
Loyalty requires a deep attitudinal attachment.(90% of people who said they are satisfied tohighly s. did not buy the same brand of car next

consumer in terms of a sense of community.

Finally the strongest affirmation of brand loyaltyis when customers are willing to invest, time,energy, money or other resources in the brandbeyond those expended during purchase or
consumption of the brand.Customers may join a club centered on the
