摘要

The relationship between brands, branding, and young consumer behaviour is pivotal in contemporary marketing strategies. Brands serve as crucial assets influencing consumer choices and perceptions of product uniqueness. As consumer preferences evolve, driven by new branding strategies, understanding the dynamics of brand imagery and components becomes imperative. Young consumers, in particular, wield significant purchasing power and form deep emotional connections with brands, using them to express identity and seek fulfilment. The digital age has amplified these interactions, with social media platforms acting as collaborative spaces where young consumers actively shape brand narratives. However, this digital landscape also presents challenges, such as online misbehaviour and brand moral scrutiny. Despite the increasing influence of digital platforms, gaps remain in understanding how young consumers navigate brand interactions and decision-making processes within this context. This chapter examines these complexities, emphasizing the evolving role of brands in young consumers’ behaviour.
