Communicating Brand and Identity HEJ247

Introduction

This unit examines the storytelling tactics and strategies associated with the design and communication of brand narratives. The unit addresses the ways in which, in the changing media environment, brand narratives are now communicated via social networks and key ‘influencers’ as much as they are communicated via traditional methods and channels of storytelling. Case studies range from the study of personal brands through to the brands of organisations as diverse as corporations, sporting clubs, consumer brands, government agencies, and charities and not-for-profits. You will be equipped to undertake brand research and analysis incorporating key theoretical, ethical and regulatory concepts in contemporary brand narrative development. You will also produce materials central to the implementation of effective brand communications.
