What are the 4 types of branding strategies?
The four primary branding strategies are: (1) Product branding—building individual product identities; (2) Corporate branding—establishing organizational reputation; (3) Personal branding—developing individual professional identities; and (4) Co-branding—strategic partnerships between brands.
