Subject : Proposed overhaul of brand image of « Panasonic »
Introduction
We chose Panasonic because of its old fashioned image. This brand is not as famous as Sony or others despite a similar quality. Panasonic produces Hifi, televisions, radio and eletronic products.
This brand doesn’t advertise a great deal. Moreover they don’t prioritize design. They focus primarily on the quality and the technology instead of investing in their marketing strategy.
Therefore, their brand image doesn’t reflect their innovative technologies.
Panasonic is not aware of young people. This brand is more used by professionals than the large public.
This brand is primarily used by a professional public, and because of a lack of advertising Young people are not aware of Panasonic. Our objective is to reconnect this brand to a larger target market.
