Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: City branding is a contemporary issue which is getting more important continuously as the competition between cities is growing. It helps to make a place desirable as a business location, tourist destination or a place to live. As Kavaratzis states, “The beginning lies in the realization that all encounters with the city take place through perceptions and images”. According to Charles Wrench, “anything for which you can construct a mental inventory is a brand”. People connect brands of cities with certain historical aspects. Over time, cities have developed their unique reputation and converted more and more into own brands, due to globalization. City branding is comparable with product branding, where products and services with a strong brand can be sold easier, attracting people and investment compared to the poor branded. While some cities have prospered over the years, others have suffered. Furthermore every city has to compete against other city for its share of the world’s consumers, tourists, businesses, investment, talents, respect and attention on the international level. The objectives of this assignment is to examine how to brand a city properly and to understand the essential steps for implementing a significant brand strategy. For a better understanding of the approach, an anonymous online primary research was done in December 2013, to reflect and explain individual methods. The questions from this result can be founded in the appendix. Additionally one successful branded and one less successful branded city will be discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regardless of the lack of due attention paid to branding in cities, it has tried to establish a real foothold among cities and today city managers have accepted the matter as an undeniable reality that a city, besides the utilities, infrastructure, social welfare etc., needs a brand. City branding is a complex issue that deals with marketing, politics and diplomacy as well as culture, history, economics and tourism. When speaking of brand we don't mean the brand logo or advertising message, but we mean the image of a product, a person, and a city in the minds of the audience. The main objective of brands was to create a logical and sustainable connection between brand elements which can be a product, a city, a person and a way of thinking on one hand and the audience who can be called a consumer, citizen, tourist, etc. on the other hand. If we believe that cities will need prosperity to continue their lives, we certainly find that prosperity has a secret and it is palatability, desirability, and appropriateness; the more desirable, the more prosperous. With the help of the growing thought of branding, each city can adjust itself so that it has greater compliance to attract interest and resources for development and progress in competition with other cities. Urban Marketing has a slogan and a main goal i.e. design and implementation; and urban management is based on citizen orientation and citizen satisfaction. The science sees tourism as an opportunity for the city and it believes that economic dynamism will not happen unless a city is connected to sources other than their native sources. Scholars have likened brands of a place to DNAs (what builds a city and makes it distinct from other places). City brands are specialized in linking places with people and act in a way that the city, with all its vastness, gets so close to a human being that wins its heart and mind. Then the city becomes a part of humans and when getting away from the city, people feel mental anguish. Then the competition between cities starts and thereby the branded city will win the material, spiritual and social capitals. The branded city will become 15 stronger and show its strength in increased prosperity and quality of life for its residents and the story continues. There are many cities and nations that have established a reputation in various fields in the world in these days. For example, The Hague is famous for peace and justice or France is famous for art or Rome is famous for history or New York is famous for the global economy. It is difficult for a city to obtain such a level but not impossible. What is important is that planners and managers identify the capabilities of a city and raise them to achieve perfection and turn into a reputation for that city.

Download or read book Brand Driven City Building and the Virtualizing of Space written by Alexander Gutzmer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an investigation of the cultural phenomenon of branding and its transformational effects on the contemporary spatial – and urban – reality. It develops a novel understanding of the rationale behind the construction of large-scale architectural complexes that relate to corporate brands, and of its tremendous cultural effects. The author suggests that what we see today is the creation of "global mass ornaments", of a thorough ornamentalization of the entire globe. The origins of this are discussed with regard to examples of corporate brand-building from Europe and China (Autostadt Wolfsburg, BMW Welt Munich and Anting New Town). Additional cases are several simulated spaces in Berlin and the space-branding activities of companies like Apple or Prada. Theoretically, the author develops an innovative poststructuralist framework, combining ideas from Gilles Deleuze with the space philosophy of Peter Sloterdijk. He analyzes how the corporate redefinition of space makes the city enter into a mode of virtual urbanity. This idea leads to a notion of a "global urban" and, ultimately, the "global mass ornament". This concept of a global mass ornament is developed here with reference to Sloterdijk’s concept of a world of "spheres". The latter is used to understand the new mode of spatiality of mediatized spaces. The book makes the point that our world is involved in a process of mass ornamentalization that has only just begun. The concept of the global mass ornament is the first to come to grips with a culture in which branding is effectively changing the physiognomy of the earth. The global mass ornament is a banner for a cultural transformation that employs architecture, sign theory and mechanisms borrowed from traditional advertising and from social media, as well as social processes – and that we have yet to properly understand. This book is a significant step forward in this respect.

Download or read book City Branding written by Alberto Vanolo and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-02-03 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1990s, city branding has become a key factor in urban development policies. Cities all over the world take specific actions to manipulate the imagery and the perceptions of places, both in the eyes of the inhabitants and in those of potential tourists, investors, users and consumers. City Branding: The Ghostly Politics of Representation in Globalising Cities explores different sides of place branding policies. The construction and the manipulation of urban images triggers a complex politics of representation, modifying the visibility and the invisibility of spaces, subjects, problems and discourses. In this sense, urban branding is not an innocent tool; this book aims to investigate and reflect on the ideas of urban life, the political unconscious, the affective geographies and the imaginaries of power constructed and reproduced through urban branding. This book situates city branding within different geographical contexts and ‘ordinary’ cities, demonstrated through a number of international case studies. In order to map and contextualise the variety of urban imaginaries involved, author Alberto Vanolo incorporates conceptual tools from cultural studies and the embrace of an explicitly post-colonial perspective. This critical analysis of current place branding strategy is an essential reference for the study of city marketing.

Download or read book Imaginative Communities written by Robert Govers and published by Reputo Press. This book was released on 2018-09-10 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans are loud. Amsterdam equals sex, drugs, and rock & roll. Mexicans are lazy and Germans are boring, but punctual. Paris is romantic, Wuhan infectious, Ukrainians heroic, and New Zealand untouched. This is the way people around the world think about cities, regions and countries and the communities that live there; through cliches and stereotypes. It can be frustrating and hindering trade, diplomacy, investment, tourism, or talent attraction. Many believe that such image problems can be resolved with advertising campaigns, but the classic tourism promotion model is broken and insufficient. This book explains what works and what doesn’t when it comes to improving the reputation of cities, regions, and countries. It does so without the use of jargon and with reference to numerous case-studies. The book primarily aims to inspire readers and offer them a broad overview of an issue in modern society that is of interest and relevance to all of us: the reputation of our communities.
