Nation Branding versus Commercial Branding– Similar Principles,
Different Practices
- a presentation by Dr. Alan C. Middleton
- Leger Marketing- September 23rd 2009
“Brands – both domestic and international – have almost always appeared in the past as a consequence of certain levels of market sophistication and economic and social development……………it is feasible to fast track the creation of export brands……a wide range of benefits can accrue to both the company and its home country.
I would argue that the development of international brands is, in today’s globalized world, as inevitable and essential as the development of domestic brands has been in the past.”
Simon Anholt 2006

Nation Branding
Nation Brands
Nation Branding
“the unique multi-dimensional blend of elements that provide the nation with culturally grounded differentiation and relevance for all of its target audiences”
Keith Dinnie 2008
Nation Branding
“A nation brand is like the proverbial super tanker which takes five miles to change course and eight miles to stop.
In many cases all that the ‘managers’ of the nation brand can realistically hope to do is to identify and isolate the positive existing perceptions of the country and calculate how to enhance whatever contributes to these in the country’s external communications, while downplaying anything that doesn’t.”
Simon Anholt 2006
Nation Branding
“…what really seems to make a difference to the images of countries is when they become dedicated to developing new ideas, policies, laws, products, services, companies, buildings, art and science.”
Keith Dinnie 2008

Nation Branding
Countries are more complex than just commercial or cultural interests, but must be pro-actively managed:
• Three issues are directly impacted by and impact country reputation:
- FDI- Tourism- Country of Origin effects on goods and services• Commercial brands are increasingly transmitting
national culture• Brand informed images may negatively stereotype
countries• Tourism pushes certain images that may negatively or
positively impact other commercial and/or political sectors
What makes a Nation brand Name, Flag/Symbols, physical space, vivid
flora, fauna and animal/bird/insect life, Government type and policies, legal system and practice, cultural products and habits (art, music, dance, food, beverage etc) commercial products/services it is best known for, citizen’s ethnic origins and behaviors, service given to visitors, agents who represent it, cost of living and visiting, PR/Publicity, consumer promotion, advertising media and message, direct
marketing, current word of mouth, historical associations, competitor’s historical/current activity

Nation Brand Planning
Umbrella: Nation Brand
Endorsed brands: Tourism; Exports; Inward Investment; Talent attraction; Sports
Stand alone brands: Regions/cities/landmarks; products/services; sector-specific; skilled workers/university students; national teams and clubs; cultural & political figures
Nation Brand Planning
1. Identify target audiences, their needs/wants and benefits the nation brand can deliver:
- citizens/local organizations
- investors/other businesses - tourists - customers for export products/services - global/regional regulatory and political authorities - influencers: associations, clubs, Diaspora
Nation Brand Planning
2. Determine core values/essence of the brand:- who are we? Where do we come from?- the current core vision, mission and values- What do we do? What are we known for?
What do we do that we are not known for?- what do people (citizens, visitors,
institutions) now think about us ?- most vivid citizen and visitor experience with
it (advertising, personal stories, movies, literature etc.)
- difference versus competition

ii) Architecture:- Policy changes (sector encouragement)- MarCom strategy and how this impacts: FDI Tourism Commercial promotion
- How this integrates with other activities
Dinnie Model of Nation Brand Identity and Image
Nation-brand identity History, Language, Territory Political regime/Policies, Architecture, Sport, Literature, Art, Religion, Education, Icons, Landscape, Music, Food/drink, folklore.
Communicators of Branded exports, Diaspora,
Nation brand identity sporting achievements, Cultural artefacts, MarCom, Personalities, Tourism experience, Foreign Policy
Nation-brand image Audiences: Domestic consumers/firms, External
consumers/firms, Investors, Government, Media
Nation Brand Planning
4. Ensure the National elements of policy and promotion fit the benefits by target segment
- SWOT analysis
- play to strengths or to ‘unheralded’ strengths; reframe weaknesses - consistency and integration of effort - persist….continuous effort - MarCom use: events, movies, TV, advertising, promotion (subsidies) etc. - serendipity….make use of the unplanned/unexpected
Nation Brand Planning
5. Tracking and Adjustment:- Track progress versus competition on surveys
Conclusions
• Nation brands more complex and less controllable
• But can be developed through national policy; integrated promotional activity (investment, tourism, cultural promotion, tie-in with export promotion)
• Against targeted audiences in targeted geographies
