Imagine above pictures are BRANDS

How could you differentiate between them?

“Growing number of copies and the abundance

of similar products, makes it more and more difficult

to differentiate brands on the basis of performance”

Azoulay and Kapferer (2003)

So, the brands need to be given a.... PERSONALITY

Consumers will identify themselves

with the stars

Valentino Rossi and YAMAHA

Then…

Sincerity

Excitement

Competence

Sophistication

Ruggedness

Problem

Are these items really measure brand personality?

Personality

Culture(Value)

Self-Image

Physical

Relationship

Reflection

Kapferer’s Brand Identity Prism (1992, 1998)

Concept Validity

Aaker’s concept is too wide

Intellectual abilites, gender and social class

Dr. Jenifer Aaker

Brand Personality is....

“The set of human characteristicsassociated with a brand”

(Aaker, 1997)

oajiWhat Psychologist say??

Allport

“Personality is the set of relatively stable and general dynamic, emotional and affectivecharacteristics.....”

“In more cases, the word does not include the cognitive aspects ....... It always dealswith the affective, emotional and dynamicAspects"

Dictionnaire Fondamental de la Psychologie

“Personality is described in terms of traits”

-Allport , 1937-

The Big Five

O• Openness

C• Conscientiousness

E• Extraversion

A• Agreeableness

N• Neuroticism

Western Small Town

Problematic Items

The Flaws of The Scale

Literature reviews from psychology

Scales from marketers

Items from qualitative study

Respondents

Sources of generated items

Authors provide narrower definition

Brand Personality is:

“The set of human personality traits that are both applicable to and relevant for brands”

Conclusion

Aaker’s scale does not measure brand personality

Some of them measure brand identity and product performance instead

Her scale merges all human characteristics

Only three correspond to elements in psychology
