The case outlines the process and outcomes of these studies, as well as the initial steps that the group took after receiving this information, including grassroots campaigns. The case asks students to identify branding concepts and next steps for the project. Branding Israel Case B is a detailed update on the early years of implementing the strategy.

Description
Teaching Objectives
After reading and discussing the material, students should:
- Introduce students to the emerging field of nation branding
- Describe an exciting new focus group technique (“house description”) to study brand perceptions
- Provide a vivid context for students to appreciate how brand-building requires multiple credible modes of communication, not just paid advertising
- Suggest how brand perceptions among consumers are eventually based on (perceived) reality (such as a country's actual policies), not just on marketer-initiated communications
