What is Brand Equity?

 , updated on
Brand equity is the financial value of a brand to a firm. This is based on customer recognition of the brand and association of the brand with positive attributes. Negative brand equity also exists whereby a brand has negative attributes in the minds of customers. In this case, products would sell better under a new brand even if that brand had zero brand equity. The following are basic components of brand equity.
Brand Awareness
Brand Culture
Brand Image
Brand Loyalty
Brand Recognition
Brand Reputation
Customer Experience
Differentiation
Employer Branding (talent who want to work for the brand)
Internal Branding (employee pride in the brand)
Market Share
Perceived Quality
Perceived Social Status
Perceived Value
Pricing Power
Satisfaction
The value of a brand can mostly be determined by a few key variables such as brand recognition, market share (revenue) and pricing power (relative margins).

Valuing Brands

Brands clearly have value and are often recognized as intangible assets in accounting. That being said, it's very difficult to calculate an accurate value for a brand. For this reason, brand value is generally considered an estimate as opposed to a concrete financial value. This changes if you purchase a brand from another company, as the transaction is concrete evidence of the brand's value.
