Branding is essential for every organisation and is part of marketing practices where the company creates its name and recognition. This helps to identify a product and distinguish it from other products and services. Branding is absolutely critical to a business because of the overall impact it makes on a company. In the world of technology, digitization has created tremendous opportunities. Consumers are increasingly empowered by disruptive technologies that brings a wider choice to brands but brings new challenges to employees. It is of utmost importance for the organisations to generate future businesses in the industry to order to be established in this over crowded marketplace. It is a fact that, once a brand is well-established, the word of mouth will be the company’s best and most effective advertising technique.
Today’s technology companies are seeing their brand overlapping with ever emerging newer competitions and their innovative ideas. At the same time customers are increasingly expecting all companies to do just that, both in their marketing efforts and in the experiences they offer. Print and digital branding is just like the two sides of a coin i.e. it is just like target branding Vs influential branding.
The Brand Book recognizes the leading brands on how they are bringing newer products and solutions to meet the demand in the Indian ICT industry. All great brands are instantly recognized. The Brand loyalty begins from the inside out and the need of the hour is to create an emotional connect with its customers.
