Branding in the ME

Unfortunately, a larger number of Middle East businesses have the completely wrong conception of branding. Many, if not most, see branding as "the company logo" - its way much more than that.

Branding is the organization's philosophy in dealing with everything and everybody. The way the organization interacts with its customers, its employees and the community. The way customers feel after experiencing the organization's product or service. Its also the organization's office environment, corporate culture and the level of involvement the company has with the community and the industry as a whole.

A set of perceptions, feelings, thoughts and emotions, all combined together to give you a sensation that is unique to any organization. That what makes a successful brand, not just a colorful logo.
