Please help me with an assignment by answering the following questions:
Think of a branded product from the lists:
Mac lipstick
Fancy Feast Cat Food
MacBookPro or MacBook
Droid phone
Ikea furniture
Pottery Barn home products
Assume that you are the newly hired product manager for the designer/brand/product/good. The VP of Marketing wants a report how this product or service has been branded.

Would the brand be...
...singing and/or dancing?"
...walking?
...sitting?
(2) Explain why you believe this personality represents the brand.
(3) How would you characterize it and why? Is the brand like an old friend? A demanding boss? A friend you've outgrown? A funny younger sister? Or ...

(4) How do consumers relate to the brand? Do they feel loyal? What emotions are involved?
