Insights from the Market

Brand Failure - Why Brands Fail and What Businesses Can Learn from It
Brand failure rarely happens suddenly. Most brands fail due to a series of small mistakes that build up over time. Common reasons include losing touch with customer needs, failing to adapt to market and social changes, poor leadership decisions, weak innovation, and inconsistent brand identity. When these problems are ignored, even well-known brands lose relevance, customer loyalty, and market position. Understanding why brands fail helps businesses recognize warning signs early and take steps to build stronger, more adaptable, and long-lasting brands.
Brand Naming - How the Right Name Shapes Business Success
A brand name is often the first impression a business makes and one of the most lasting. It shapes how people perceive, remember, and connect with a brand long before they experience its products or services. More than a creative choice, brand naming is a strategic decision that blends language, emotion, and business intent. A strong name helps a brand stand out, build trust, and grow with time, while a weak one can quietly limit its potential.
Branding vs Marketing vs Advertising - Understanding the Key Differences
Branding, marketing, and advertising are connected but different. Branding is about who a company is and how people feel about it. Marketing is how a company shares its products or services with the right audience. Advertising is the way these messages are shown to attract attention and encourage action. Together, they help a business grow and connect with customers.
