competitive advantage you have in
today’s business environment.

and identity.
Your Brand is what makes you
unique instead of becoming just

understand what branding really is

9. PR & Branding
PR creates stories, opportunities and
publicity that close the gap between
what you want to be, and what the
consumer thinks you are.
Remember always that a brand is
what the consumer says it is – so we
must undertake activities to either
enhance or change the perception of
the consumer.
A brand is further enhanced by
adding sustained experiences across
multiple touch-points in various
situations.
