Drawing on the three phases of branding we discussed in lecture – mass market,
niche/authenticity, brand-as-institution – conduct an analysis of a single company’s branding
across these three periods. For each phase of branding, you should discuss how key features of
each of these phases, how those are made manifest in an organization’s branding, as well as
changes in brand-consumer relationship.
You may choose whatever company you like, but I strongly encourage you to choose a
well-established company with a long history (e.g. Ford, Dove, American Airlines, General
Electric, household goods manufacturers, etc.; that said, please don’t use Dove because we used
it in lecture already!). Otherwise, you’re unlikely to find advertising from each of the three
periods under analysis. You may use commercials, print advertisements, or anything else
produced by a company so long as it contributes to its branding efforts.
Last note: it’s ok if some of the features of a given phase of branding don’t show up in the brand
you’re analyzing. It’s perfectly fine to say “while X is a common feature of mass market
branding, it is not relevant to this particular ad.” Focus on what is relevant.
