Why study MBA with Specialization in Advertising and Branding?
What is the most significant thing that can make or break a product? In a country with over 28% of the population belonging to the middle-class an affordable car launched by a reputed brand failed just because it was positioned as a cheap product!
How you position your product or service and how it is perceived by the target audience is of utmost importance. Mostly, a consumer will not purchase ketchup sold by a toiletry brand because of certain associations. Building the right brand image, generating consumers’ trust in the brand, and speaking to the audience in a way that they understand are some of the things that can make a brand stand out and feature in consumers’ consideration when they think of buying a product.
The journey from being an unknown product to a reputed and loved brand is long and not easy. This specialization keeps in mind the concurrent needs that have arisen with the rise of digital mediums and other effective advertising tools. The course will take individuals through the strategies of effective brand and product creation, their maintenance, and expansion with real-world contexts, solutions, and pitches. It will help students understand firsthand the functional areas of advertising and work through the essentials of building a strong brand through analysis, decision making, and strategizing the advertising solutions.
