Aaker Model

Aaker is the creator of the Aaker Model, a marketing model that views

brand image.[12]

Aaker primarily sees brand identity as consisting of 8–12 elements which fall under four perspectives:

  • Brand as Product – consists of product scope, product attributes, quality or value of the product, uses, users and country of origin.
  • Brand as Organisation – consists of organizational attributes and local workings versus global activities.
  • Brand as Person – consists of brand personality and customer-brand relationships.
  • Brand as Symbol – consists of audio and visual imagery, metaphorical
    symbols and brand heritage.[12]

Aaker first introduced the model in his book Building Strong Brands (1996).

Publications

Aaker is the author of more than 100 articles and 14 books on marketing and branding.[9][13]
