Branding/David Bonko/UW-River Falls/3 cr. We are a society that has become “brandcentric.” For example, as consumers, we’ll gladly pay a higher price for the privilege of wearing a fashion forward company’s mark. Ask a group of people to characterize the type of individual who drives any make of car—from Cadillac to Ford Escort—and you’ll probably get the same description. The mention of some brands may cause us to curl up our noses in disgust while the utterance of others can incite long, passionate rants. Why is this? What is it about branding that can cause an almost “cult-like” behavior amongst its enthusiasts? In this class, we’re going to delve into the above inquiries…and a whole lot more. Textbook(s): |
