differentiating themselves from their competitors. When developing the product(s), marketing its
brand name is regarded as a crucial notion. Organizations rely on branding to link their
organization to product(s) and to increase loyalty to the organization and the product they
promote. Developing strategic brand campaigns has expanded considerably in recent decades
and aids in establishing brand equity in the product organizations, and they also directly impact
how organizations integrate their marketing communications with their customers.

fit with the external environment, companies need to evolve the corporate brand” (Yakimova et
