Sixth stage – development strategy for output the brand to the market.

The seventh and next stages – the process of building permanent communication with customers, fans, followers [1].

One of the main stages of process development of brand building is actually its most of his conception, which provides for the formation so-called DNA brand, is identical key features, differences and characteristics of the brand created. According to, words of of President consulting company "Contact-Expert" Trusov G. L., DNA brand - its idea, embryo, and also frame, that allow the brand to evolve. DNA includes brand legend, values and aesthetic code, needed in  next  developing advertising creative.

In implementing the most detailed study of the DNA the brand developers of strategy carefully study the various client groups, formed, on the demographic sign and psychological needs. Researchers analyzing the underlying motives and driving forces of these groups. Developers strategies are considering various proposalsof competitors, trying to understand, whan suitable for clients, what not.
