Post 81. Power of the Brand

“Just like names define us, #brands reflect our personality. Imagine being called Number 1789000 Z instead of Sarah Parker or Sandugash Sembinova(although after hearing especially striking versions of my name, this does not sound so bad????)That’s why companies need brands— it helps to define how Company wants to be perceived.
