dc.description.abstract | Purpose: This study describes the overall branding logic of an international
industrial company operating in the renewable energy industry and responds to calls
for empirical research on 1) how to build a B2B brand in the digital age, and 2) how
digital media can be used for branding. A digital branding model is also developed.
Design: A single case study of a company at the forefront of digital media usage is
used to develop the model. The main data comes from semi-structured theme
interviews and on content analysis of the channels used to create a brand on the
Internet.
Findings: In the digital age, firms seem to benefit from having a strong market
orientation and a holistic branding approach with robust integration of their different
functions. Branding in the digital age requires strong internal communication as well
as consistent external communication, but also positioning of the brand in topical
conversations. For an industrial organization, becoming an opinion leader is a
strategy well suited to branding and can be supported by creating relevant content
subsequently delivered through various social media channels.
Research limitations: The results of this study are based on a single case study and
hence are not generalizable.
Originality: This study is among the first to respond to the calls for empirical
research on industrial brand management in the digital age and contributes to the
emerging B2B branding and branding on digital age literature. | |
