Brand strategy is the long-term plan for building, positioning and developing a brand. It defines the brand’s purpose, values, target audience and differentiation, providing a clear foundation for brand identity, communication and customer experience.

Branding is the strategic process of building and shaping a brand to increase recognition, create differentiation and strengthen customer loyalty. It brings together strategy, identity, communication and customer experience to create a consistent and meaningful brand presence.
