Pertinent to this conversation, Consumer branding is about finding ways to connect with them to deliver value. This is mainly done through innovations/technologies that increase purchase intent and as a result category value. As BMWCCA stated, it’s a marketing tool to attract consumers. In a vacuum it’s good use brands to differentiate vs other brands in the category (ie. competition). What I don’t like is when brand loyalty drives division or elitism. Some brands can be more expensive (bmw vs Kia) or harder to obtain (Rolex/PP vs Casio). This sometimes creates an ill intended narrative which can create false caste system.

School is in session…that’s a good example of branding.
