Brand Objectives Jonathan Poland

Brand objectives refer to the specific goals that a brand is working towards. These goals can be both long-term end-goals, such as increasing revenue or expanding market share, as well as intermediate steps towards these end-goals, such as improving the brand’s image or positioning in the market. In order to effectively achieve their brand objectives, companies often need to develop and implement a range of strategies, including marketing and advertising efforts, product development and innovation, and customer service initiatives.
