Teaching brand management, branding

Brand management courses address the question of how the psychological aspects of an offering –the brand– affects the customer. Most brand management courses focus on how to build “inspired” brands, brands that convey a meaning or positive response by customers beyond the functional elements of the offering. Segmentation can help understand how different groups of customer see brands differently, while positioning analysis can help brand managers see where their brand and their competitors’ sit in the minds of customers.
