Description

This conceptual note gives students a brief overview of the emerging field of nation, or country, branding. Nation branding, a term coined in the late 20th century, is an approach that is being increasingly used to promote countries for tourism, investment, and political goals. The note takes students step by step through the process of creating a nation brand, and addresses some of the common challenges with implementing a nation branding strategy. This note can be used alongside numerous other cases regarding national identity. It was written in connection with Branding Israel case study, which is also available through WDI Publishing.
