TRUTH 1 Brand Building is an investment not an Expenditure
Philosophically, brand- building helps in asset creation for the business, hence is a balance-sheet item, not an expense item in your P & L statement!

Brand Building needs to be continuously worked upon, to help shape the course of your business; it should not be viewed as a series of smart tactics to merely meet sales numbers!
TRUTH 3 Urge to protect and build brands must be a fundamental mind-set, not an administrative imperative !
If brands were truly considered as assets ( like your home, car or valuables) , then you would automatically obsess about protecting them, maintaining them and upgrading them ‘holistically’ on a continuous basis, instead of just trade-marking the name/logo etc.
TRUTH 4 Brand-building is a rigorous science, not just an art.
If we really want to build brands scientifically , then we need to carefully engineer the process, by design. The process involves significant perspiration, not just moments of creative inspiration!
TRUTH 5 Branding is not about a unique name or symbol…it is a unique way of connecting to your customer.
