What is a brand?

DEFINED...
Branding...embodies the tangible and intangible aspects of
a product, service or entity. Branding is internal. It is what lies
at the heart of those intangible attributes that define a
product, service or entity. In contrast, marketing is external
and is the process by which resources are brought to bear
under situations presenting opportunities or threats. (Shaffer,
2002)
