Report Highlights
There are two important insights into managing brand through mergers and
acquisitions successfully. Firstly, serious problems can be created by not
actively managing the brand through such developments, which can cause brand
equity to suffer. Secondly, ongoing communication to all parts of the value
chain is essential.
For intermediaries, the quality and range of products is far more important
than brand when assessing providers. Nevertheless, providers should look to
appeal to both intermediaries and end customers, by looking to offer a high
level of service and wide product portfolio, as well as build up a reputation
for trust, leadership and social values.
