A clear understanding of branding and marketing, so here are five key points to differentiate branding from marketing:
Purpose: Branding is focused on creating and maintaining a consistent image for a company or product, while marketing is focused on promoting and selling a product or service.
Focus: Branding focuses on creating a perception in the mind of the consumer, while marketing focuses on generating demand and driving sales.
Long-term vs short-term: Branding is a long-term strategy that builds and maintains a company's reputation and image, while marketing is a short-term tactic that focuses on a specific campaign or promotion.
Audience: Branding is focused on creating a relationship with the target audience, while marketing is focused on reaching a specific target market and selling to them.
