Importance of a brand in business
In the past, a business could survive on the basis of the sheer strength of its product. The product used to be a connection between the business and the customer. Not any more. Brands have risen in the hierarchy of value generating assets. They are perhaps at the top. What differentiates an excellent performer from the others is that the former have brands while others may simply be good products. A good brand is a good product, but a good product may not be a good brand. Making a product is easier but making a brand is not. Customers now do not look for products, they look for brands.

Various aspects of brand management
Brand management is nothing but brand stewardship or navigation. It essentially involves maintaining the relevance of the brand in the market. A brand manager makes sure that the brand’s connection with the targeted customer is not upset. The process requires fine-tuning the brand with all the dynamism and change without tampering with its core or ‘essence’. At a tactical level, brand management includes assessing the brand as it stands in the customer mind, checking its position, brand extensions, brand revitalisation and brand relaunches.
