Brand Manager
What's a brand? YouTube, Amazon, Spotify...
A brand is more than a name, a logo or a slogan – it’s the reputation that precedes a product or service before anyone has even had the opportunity to interact with it. A brand can make or break a business, and at the center of any successful brand is a Brand Manager!
Being a brand manager is all about using analytical skills to solve problems and making decisions to better the brand. Brand managers develop brand awareness and strategies by analyzing every detail, including product portfolios, budget and pricing strategies, and data from consumer dynamics. Being a brand manager is challenging but allows you to manage a team of individuals to meet the goals of advancing a brand's awareness and success.
