Creative Business Forum

A brand is not only a company name and a recognizable logo; first of all, it consists in the associations, images and emotions that arise when consumers interact with a product or a service. And brand development is a long-term investment that helps strengthen the brand's position both on the market and in the consumer's mind. Companies with a unique strong positioning gain the opportunity to conduct their business at a fundamentally new level, generating added value for their product and creating a community of brand fans. What are the typical features and advantages of strong brands? What are their role and value for business and the economy as a whole? How to create and promote a strong brand? What design trends will help create a unique, recognizable corporate identity?
