Assigning human traits to a brand helps to achieve market differentiation and foster a unique identity. This concept is fundamentally different from a brand image, which focuses on tangible benefits and attributes, as brand personality emphasizes emotional connections.
Brand personality must be differentiated from brand image, in sense that, while brand image denote the tangible (physical and functional) benefits and attributes of a brand, brand personality indicates emotional associations of the brand
BRAND
Unique design, sign, symbol, words, or a combination of these, employed in creating an image that identifies a product and differentiates it from its competitors
