Hello. I am a student. I am confusing that diference between branding and corporate brand. I did many research on it, however I cannot find the result on it. Would you mind tell me that the main diference between them? Thank you for your attention.
Hello Mandy,
I am also a student, but I would say branding is the process itself of establishing a brand. There are different kinds of brands such as the corporate brand, a product brand or a service brand. If you brand a corporate name its different from branding a product.
Hope that was the answer to your question.
Kind regards
Sarah
