Taking the brand promise online: Challenges and opportunities — Leslie de Chernatony and George Christodoulides, Interactive Marketing, Vol. 5 No. 3

Starting from the fact that a 'brand' is a universal concept regardless of environment, but its enactment changes according to environment, this paper provides pointers to brand building on the Internet. It presents a three-level model of a brand to help organisations characterise their brands' promises. By expanding this model the authors then consider how a brand's promise can be enacted on the Internet in order to assess the coherence of the brand. Through considering how some organisations have taken advantage of the Internet, they highlight three factors critical for success. Ten key action points for marketers are presented. (14 pages)
