They’ve mastered the art of creating that same desire, keeping customers eagerly awaiting their next release. It’s more than just a product; it’s an experience. So, in this article, we’ll be learning about branding—its key elements, why it’s important, and some other cool insights. Let’s dive right in! 😉

What is Branding?

Branding is the process of creating a unique identity for a business, product, or individual in the mind of the consumer.

Effective branding creates a perception in the consumer's mind, setting the tone and character of the business or product.
