customers and prospects. Brand attributes can be either negative or positive and
can have varying degrees of relevance and importance to different customer
segments.
Brand Audit

intangible) which relates to a brand.
Brand Awareness
The proportion of target customers that recall a brand. Realisation by a

or distribution channel.

its category. This becomes possible when the brand image and attributes have
contributed to a perception with the consumer/user where the brand and not the
product is the decision driver.

maintain. These associations represent what the brand should stand for and imply
a potential promise to customers. It is important to note that a brand identity

resides in the minds of consumers.
