Health
A brand is the collective whole of all the touchpoints and interactions consumers have with a brand, in addition to the messaging that comes directly from a company. The bottom line is: companies don’t control brand perception, consumers do. And brand perception affects many things, with the biggest impact ultimately on your bottom line.
