The Importance of Brand Image, How Companies Can Create a Powerful and Lasting Brand Image in the Minds of Customers, and How Nike and McDonald’s Developed Renowned Global Brand Images , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 25min
This essay sheds light on the importance of the brand image variable and elucidates how companies can create a powerful and lasting brand image in the minds of customers. Moreover, how Nike and McDonald’s both developed renowned global brand images is delineated in this essay. A company’s brand image is of eminent importance and should not be overlooked. Having a robust, renowned, and lasting brand image variable allows companies to bolster profitability, brand growth, brand recognition, and brand loyalty. By consistently demonstrating brand cohesiveness and brand consistently through enticing advertisement campaigns and by maintaining stellar service offerings, companies can elicit a powerful and lasting brand image variable in the minds of customers. A brand image is “the impression in the consumers' mind of a brand's total personality and can include real and imaginary qualities and shortcomings. Brand image is developed overtime through advertising campaigns with a consistent theme, and is authenticated through the customers’ direct experiences” (“Brand Image”, n.d.) with the brand. Companies should take the necessary measures to devise a stellar brand image in the minds’ of their customers. Fostering a powerful brand image can involve consistently having enticing advertisement campaigns and maintaining service quality. Moreover, brands should also undergo the requisite precautionary measures to avoid comprising their brand image by training their staff to always be professional and consistently deliver expectations. A paradigm of company that has established their value proposition around the brand image variable is Nike.

For instance, their brand logo, the illustrious Nike swoosh, can consistently be seen on their apparel which clearly renders their products distinguishable among other brand products. ungekürzt.

How McDonald's Became a Highly Profitable Brand, the Importance of Brands Expanding into New Foreign Markets Through Franchisees, and Why McDonald's Will Continue to Dominate the Fast Food Industry , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 13min
This book explains how McDonald’s became a highly profitable brand and elucidates the importance of brands expanding into new foreign markets through franchisees. Furthermore, it also predicts why McDonald’s will continue to dominate the fast-food industry in the coming years. A paradigm of a company that prudently capitalized on the opportunity to expand into foreign markets after struggling to experience more fast food market share growth within the United States beyond 17 percent is McDonald’s. According to Shapiro's research findings, in 1991, for the first time, McDonald's opened more restaurants overseas than in the United States: 427 abroad, compared with just 188 in the United States. In 1992, the company decided to open 450 outlets in foreign countries and 250 in the United States in the same year, with Latin America and Asia expected to be the fastest-growing areas. "We made the decision to push the international development a little harder," said James Cantalupo, then president and chief executive of McDonald's International. "We will increase the pace each year." Already, the top 10 McDonald's restaurants in sales and profits are on foreign soil. In just two years, more than half of McDonald's profits are expected to come from restaurants overseas. The busiest McDonald's are in Moscow, on the Champs-Elysees in Paris, and in central Rome. With far less competition abroad, the average McDonald's overseas does 25 percent more business than its counterpart in the United States. McDonald's has had little choice but to look abroad in the face of slow growth at home. And although domestic sales could well pick up when the recession ends, McDonald's priorities for new outlets have clearly shifted abroad. McDonald’s could never have become the global fast-food giant that it is today and could have never saturated a myriad of foreign fast-food markets if they limited themselves to only competing in the United States fast- ungekürzt.

This is the story of how I got my life back; how I lost 130 pounds and how I regained my self-esteem as a woman.I remember being a happy-go-lucky and chubby little girl, whose slowly rising weight was the last thing on her mind. However, this quickly changed during my early teens. I became known as "that fat girl" in high school and my early 20s. I still have extremely painful memories from that time. No pool parties for me. No stylish clothes for me. No friends around me. Turning to McDonald’s for comfort, hugging my teddy bear and desiring sleep: They were my only escape from being ‘’the fat girl’’ for just a few hours. I was shattered by so many judgmental people and loved ones that my weight problem turned into a bigger issue. I was using food as solace, and it became a vicious cycle I couldn’t escape from. Little did I know that trips to McDonald’s golden arches would be the doorway to the event that changed my entire life. I was 250 pounds when I truly decided to start a change. One year and a half later, I was 120 pounds. My name is Melanie. I’m talking to you about my struggle with being an obese teenager; how my little girl eating habits developed into a vicious circle that I didn't get out of until I was 25, when I hit rock bottom. I will talk to you about my food abuse years, my alcohol and drug abuse moments, and my pain during the darkest part of my life. But most of all, I will talk to you about how I said good-bye to all this crap and restarted my life from the bottom.Intermittent fasting changed my existence completely. And you can do the same, as I did. My goal is to get you inspired from my personal story to get start your path toward a healthier lifestyle. No matter what your weight is, how many people believe in you, or how much you are struggling, changing your life is a possibility. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Abigail Carson.
