Brand Personality
Brand Personality 
According to the American Marketing Association 
(AMA): 
"Brand personality is the psychological nature of a 
particular brand as intended by its sellers, though 
persons in the marketplace may see the brand 
otherwise (called brand image). These two 
perspectives compare to the personalities of 
individual humans: what we intend or desire, and 
what others see or believe."
Brand Personality 
Aaker defines the associated personality of a brand as a 
set of 
(1) human demographic characteristics like age, 
gender, social class and race, 
(2) human lifestyle characteristics like activities, 
interest, and opinion, 
(3) human personality traits such as extroversion, 
agreeableness, dependability, warmth, concern, 
and sentimentality.
Brand Personality 
• Aaker has developed a framework of brand personality 
dimensions on the bases of an extensive research across 37 
brands (out of 60) with a high salience rating divided over 4 
clusters with 114 personality traits (out of 309). 
• The brand personality construct composes five personality 
factors so called "Big Five": sincerity, excitement, competence, 
sophistication, and ruggedness. The big five includes 15 facets 
and 42 traits; they explain 92% of the variance between the 
brand personality's (Aaker, 1997)

Brand Personality 
Brand personality develops the interaction between the brand, product, 
service, organization and their users. Nearly everything associated with 
the brand affects the perceived brand personality. For that, Aaker 
segregated two groups of brand personality drivers; product related and 
non-product related characteristics
