Brand personality

"Brand personality is one of the core dimension of brand equity. Brand personality refers to the emotional side of a brand image." "Brand personalities are created in different ways and with different tools. However, the creation always involves active communications on the side of the firm: the personality has to be disseminated to be alive. Advertising is heavily used in this process of personality creation."

"Down-to-earth, family oriented, genuine, old-fashioned (Sincerity). This might describe brands like Hallmark, Kodak, and even Coke. The relationship might be similar to one that exists with a well-liked and respected member of the family."

"Spirited, young, up-to-date, outgoing (Excitement). In the softdrink category, Pepsi fits this mold more than Coke. Especially on a weekend evening, it might be enjoyable to have a friend who has these personality characteristics."

"Accomplished, influential, competent (Competence). Perhaps Hewlett-Packard and the Wall Street Journal might fit this profile.
Think of a relationship with a person whom you respect for their accomplishments, such as a teacher, minister or business leader; perhaps that is what a relationship between a business computer and its customer should be like."

"Pretentious, wealthy, condescending (Sophistication). For some, this would be BMW, Mercedes, or Lexus (with gold trim) as opposed to the Mazda Miata or the VW Golf. The relationship could be similar to one with a powerful boss or a rich relative."

Athletic and outdoorsy (Ruggedness). Nike (versus LA Gear), Marlboro (versus Virginia Slims), and Wells Fargo (versus Bank of America) are examples. When planning an outing, a friend with outdoorsy interests would be welcome.

Tutorial

Tutorial with Damian Chapman
How am I doing?
I read books and online journals to understand an area of psychology. The area was included emotional advertising, rational advertising, brand personality and human emotions. I also analyzed a relationship between brand psychology and human emotions. I created a brand map to see how psychology is linked to consumer behaviours and human happiness. This learning process helped me to think about how brand influence to consumer’s mind through psychology. I was still thinking about setting up my project theme.

Why am I doing this?
To understand a branding area of psychology, which is linked to consumer behaviors.
To gain branding knowledge for making a successful advertising campaign.

What am I going to do?
I am going to narrow down my idea and start thinking about my project.
I also need to think about who is going to be a target audience for my project.
