Bachelor Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 2,2, Cologne Business School Köln, language: English, abstract: This study examines how cultural differences between Germany and Portugal affect the brand personality of German international companies. „True cultural connection is the Holy Grail for brands if they want to create an enduring emotional relationship with people.“ The analysis of this thesis goes hand in hand with this quote by Adam Chmielowski, Group Head at Flamingo. In order to find out if his statement concerning the importance of brand awareness in branding is true, a suitable research question will be introduced. The goal is to find out whether international companies are already aware of this fact and what consequences it has on the brand personality if a company tries to enter a new market in another country but expulses the cultural aspects. A recognizable brand name can lead to an increase in sales, and could therefore be one of the most valuable assets of a company. Especially for companies who offer products or services which can easily be copied by others or where several substitutes are available in the market. An example for such an industry is the automotive industry, because they differentiate themselves through their brand personality. The significant value of a brand name and personality is not only important due to high competition, but also because of the increase in emotional wants and needs of the customer, which need to be met in order to make profit. Potential customers might be more likely to buy a product from a known brand, that they might have positive associations or feelings with than from an unknown. Hence, it is important to attach a consumer to stay with the company and become a loyal customer for this brand, because unlike product attributes, the ideas of the consumer of this brand do not easily change. The setting up of a brand image is a marketing step and investment for beneficial in the long-term. In this context the term brand personality stands for profile of a brand with human characteristics.

Marketing Global Justice is a critical study of efforts to 'sell' global justice. The book offers a new reading of the rise of international criminal law as the dominant institutional expression of global justice, linking it to the rise of branding. The political economy analysis employed highlights that a global elite benefit from marketised global justice whilst those who tend to be the 'faces' of global injustice - particularly victims of conflict - are instrumentalised and ultimately commodified. The book is an invitation to critically consider the predominance of market values in global justice, suggesting an 'occupying' of global justice as an avenue for drawing out social values.

Anthropology is a science specialized in the study of the past and present of societies, especially the study of humans and human behavior. The disciplines of anthropology and consumer research have long been separated; however, it is now believed that joining them will lead to a more profound knowledge and understanding of consumer behaviors and will lead to further understanding and predictions for the future. Anthropological Approaches to Understanding Consumption Patterns and Consumer Behavior is a cutting-edge research publication that examines an anthropological approach to the study of the consumer and as a key role to the development of societies. The book also provides a range of marketing possibilities that can be developed from this approach such as understanding the evolution of consumer behavior, delivering truly personalized customer experiences, and potentially creating new products, brands, and services. Featuring a wide range of topics such as artificial intelligence, food consumption, and neuromarketing, this book is ideal for marketers, advertisers, brand managers, consumer behavior analysts, managing directors, consumer psychologists, academicians, social anthropologists, entrepreneurs, researchers, and students.
