| Inhalt |
The Course targets students interested in developing theoretical and practical understanding of brand management in the context of fashion and luxury markets. Following an introductory discussion of the specificities of branding within a brand economy and of branding in the luxury context, participants will learn two radically distinct approaches to branding. First, a product-plus approach that considers brands as add-ons to products/services/ experiences. Second, a holistic brand approach, which instead considers brands as the cornerstone of a company’s marketing strategy and as its most valuable asset. The Course engages students in potentially rich and critical discussion about brands’ function, nature, construction, and execution. Discussion combines research-driven evidences with real-life examples. In detail, the Course covers the following parts: (1) from trademarks to branding; (2) branding in the creative and luxury industries; (3) effects of brands on consumers; (4) managing luxury brands (codification, sense of purpose, and narrative contents). |
