Mines a BMW thats me
When it comes to cars and other products and services most of us have a pretty good idea of what particular brands stand for, and an accurate mental map of where they stand in relation to other brands. We don't have to think twice about the relative positions of a BMW and a Daewoo, or a Carlsberg and a Carling for example.

The emerging marketing choice: fame or respect
Branding today is increasingly extreme, requiring companies to make extreme choices. One of those is the decision to think huge or small.

Retailer Brands - Lessons from UK and what it takes
Retailers are assuming that consumers will embrace retailer-owned brands. They may be in for a big surprise. Hopefully, being sensible, they will have researched this move. Not to do so would be naive. It is suggested that Stephen Cain, when at Coles, was behind the plan to move to a higher percentage of retailer-owned brands. Maybe, but it is worth pointing out that his experience of UK food retailing was with ASDA - a committed EDLP strategist. ASDA increased its percentage sales of retail brands in recent years by relying on PRICE not VALUE. There is a difference!

Multi-brand strategies - pitfalls and pluses
As franchising grows in Australia so does the number of franchisors that operate more than the one brand. Rod Young from DC Strategy discusses the multiple-brand strategy. They may be disparate brands, not related to each other except they occupy retail shopping centre space. For example, the Pets Paradise, Warner Bros. Studios (all company owned) and Billy Baxter’s Coffee Shops are all controlled by the one group. Alternatively, and more commonly, multiple brands in related industries such as the Donut King and BB’s Café brands owned by Retail Food Group, the Muffin Break and Jamaica Blue brands owed by Foodco Group, and the Drytron and Bizzi Beez brands owned by Fibrecare Group, are long established multi-branded networks.

Social Media Principle 5 – WITH People, Not TO People
Marketing is something you do WITH, not TO, people. Successful brands realise that being social isn’t about where, it’s about how for the last 30 yrs or so, brilliantly controlled brand management was the perfect approach for persuading a mass market of credulous consumers who eagerly put their faith in brands.
