We are all branded ourselves to a certain degree, we announce ourselves through the clothes we wear, the products we buy and the car we drive, but why' The aim of this essay is to discuss how branding effects us a consumer society, what makes us remember particular brands and what moral issues are raised by the over use of brands. A brand was originally a mark on a product to identify who made it or owned it (cattle were branded so others knew who they belonged to if they got lost or stolen). An older definition of a brand is: - “(a brand name is) a name, term, sign, symbol or design, or a combination of these, which is intended to identify the goods or services of one group of sellers and differentiate them from those of competitors” The branding of a product has to mean so much more within the society in which we live today. It’s not so much about the product but the image it portrays. Richard Koch defines a brand in modern day society as: - “A visual design and/or name brand, product, brands, coke, children, mcdonald’s, image, buy, branding, been, products, one, know, about, world, people, name, status, over, life, feel, don’t, consumer, because, adverts, time, themselves, target, something, promise, make, klein, images, example
