The first objective of this thesis was to create a comprehensive brand identity for the company. Another goal was to create a plan, a content marketing strategy model, for implementing the formed brand identity in an organised manner to its target audience.

The model includes a strategic brand analysis which was utilised as a framework for the thesis’ empirical part. In addition to analysing one-self, the strategic brand analysis included examining Hyggelig’s target audience’s needs and competitors’ brand positioning. The empirical worK on the target audience tooK place during spring 2019 when an online survey was conducted to gain information regarding the needs and challenges of the first prospective target group of Hyggelig; consumer clients.

  • IMC) by Advertising Agencies
    The Role of Brand Identity in the Implementation of Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) by Advertising Agencies David N. Bibby A Thesis Submitted to Auckland University of Technology in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) 2015 Faculty of Business and Law Abstract This thesis seeks answers to a fundamental question relating to the field of marketing communications: How does one implement Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC)? It is almost 30 years since Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) first aroused the interest of researchers. In that time a significant body of research has emerged seeking to define what the concept means (Kliatchko, 2009; Moriarty & Schultz, 2012) and to understand what factors are involved in managing the implementation of IMC (Kerr & Patti, 2013; Porcu, del Barrio-Garcia, & Kitchen, 2012). The perceived benefits of IMC provide a compelling explanation as to why the practice is widespread today (Eagle et al. 2007; Kitchen & Schultz, 1999; Schultz & Schultz, 2004). The basic concept and principal benefit of IMC is synergy (Duncan & Everett, 1993). IMC is perceived as improving media and message delivery and thereby reducing media costs (Nowak, Cameron & Delorme, 1996). IMC is therefore considered an efficient and effective strategy for building brand equity (Madhavaram, Badrinarayana & McDonald, 2005). Since the inception of IMC a number of scholars have emphasised the strategic role of the brand in the implementation of IMC (Duncan & Moriarty, 1998; Duncan & Mulhern, 2004; Schultz, 1998; Schultz & Kitchen, 2000a). Building brand equity is considered to be a key strategic objective of IMC (Aaker, 2014; Fill, 2009; Kapferer, 2008) and the brand identity construct has been proposed as a key element in that process (Aaker, 1996; Kapferer, 2008).

  • Managment and Marketing Implications of Branding
    The Management and Marketing Implications of Branding By Merry Neitlich and Anne Gallagher Neitlich and Gallagher as partners collaborate providing strategy, branding and related services such as marketing plan development, planning and creative to professional services firms. Both Neitlich and Gallagher, a lawyer by training, have been working as professional services marketing consultants for over 20 years. They have worked with some of the largest firms in the world providing branding, websites, business development consulting services, client service programs, coaching, marketing strategy and plans. www.emconsults.org Article Introduction For many lawyers, the whole concept of “branding” smacks of marketing gimmickry. But for those firms who have successfully undertaken the process, they see that it is more akin to strategic planning than most any marketing endeavor they have undertaken. Done well, a branding program not only identified a firm’s unique “essence” but it set the course for its future as a law firm. In the process, a successful branding initiative raises some of a firm’s most critical management and marketing issues. This article provides insight into the branding process and explains the five most common management and marketing issues raised as a result. Branding at a Hypothetical Law Firm Like many law firms, Smith Stark Edison (SSE) knew it needed a shot in the arm in its business development efforts.
