Great brands are not just about delighting the consumer, they are also about powering national economic growth. Brands capture value for the nation in numerous ways – creating intellectual capital, boosting R&D and innovation, and creating large-scale livelihoods by empowering value chains, investing in physical infrastructure and expanding markets.
Brands are the badge of a country’s competitiveness. Powerful domestic brands compete effectively with international brands within the country and outside. They create such a popular franchise that some nations are identified with the attributes of great brands that they have produced.
