When talking about brands and their strategies, sometimes we use so many terms that it is easy to confuse them. This is the case of branding and marketing, two concepts related but not the same. Let’s start with the main concepts and what branding is…
Branding is the process of defining and building a brand through the planned management of all the graphic, communication and positioning processes that are carried out.
Through branding a series of actions will be carried out that you will develop to give your brand personality and transmit differentiated values to position it in the consumer’s mind.
The direct objective of a branding strategy is not the sale, as the price strategy may have… But through this differentiation to ensure that when choosing a product that you sell. The user identifies more with your brand than with the competition.
Branding has established itself as a necessary element for any company.
Since it is a way to consolidate the brand, and achieve prestige and recognition, especially on digital communication platforms.
Marketing is the science and art of exploring, creating and delivering value to meet the needs of a target market for profit. Marketing identifies unrealized needs and desires. Define, measure and quantify the size of the identified market.
It is a discipline dedicated to the analysis of the behavior of markets and consumers.
Marketers usually focus their activities on the set of the Four P’s: Product, Price, Place (distribution) and Promotion. Marketing appeals to different techniques and methodologies with the intention of conquering the market and achieving other objectives of a commercial company.
The marketing strategy puts our product on the map so that the consumer knows it. Branding works for the advertising strategy and helps make our brand more attractive and differentiates it from the competition and that the consumer identifies and chooses it.
While marketing manages variables such as the product, price, promotion and distribution, the branding deals with variables such as identity, construction of value and brand strategies, marketing is made up of a series of actions that support the sale, branding communicates values and attributes that define the identity of the brand.
