Module 1: Brand building strategies in the digital era

A brand is one of the most critical strategic assets for any organisation. This is especially true in the digital era, where products and services are increasingly intangible. As customers forge meaningful connections with organisations from which they obtain products and services, they increasingly relying on brands to guide their purchasing decisions. Therefore, in the contemporary business world, branding is one of the few strategies that can help build a sustainable advantage over competitors in the long run.

This module provides a comprehensive framework for brand building and management in the context of the digital era. It covers topics such as the essence of a brand in the digital era, the brand evolution process, the triangle model of brand building, integration of internal and external branding, and effective branding approaches in both B2B and B2C markets. This digital branding module goes beyond focusing on using digital platforms for brand promotion or communication and explores how organisations should fundamentally alter their approaches to brand building, incorporating the new business paradigm defined by digitalisation, AI, and customer empowerment.
