SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Brand Meaning takes a comprehensive and holistic look at how consumers find and create meaning in brands. It explores the fundamental conscious and unconscious elements that connect people with products and brands. Traditional marketing concepts are questioned, and a new brand meaning framework is put forward. The book lays out new and fertile territory for the understanding of how brands can both assimilate and provide meaning. It will leave readers with a better appreciation of what brand means and what brands mean." "This book is intended as a supplement for all graduate and undergraduate courses on brand management in marketing, consumer psychology, advertising, and business."--Jacket.
