Archetypes can work well asa desired positioning for many brands in political markets. By archetype development we can discuss success and failure ofsome political brands. This concept is linked to brand equity too. To make brand strong marketers have the famous CustomerBased Brand Equity model (CBBE). In this model everything is seen from the view of consumers. “Two fundamentally importantquestions marketers facing are: What do different brands mean to consumers? And how does the brand knowledge ofconsumers affect their response to marketing activity? The basic premise of the CBBE model is that the power of brand lies inwhat customers have learned, felt, seen, and heard about the brand, as a result of their experiences over time. In other words,the power of brand lies in what resides in the minds of customers”. (Keller, 2011, p. 71)From the view of Customer Based Brand Equity model, it is seen that brand knowledge is the key to creating brandequity; hence brand knowledge establishes difference between products, services, ideas, persons. The Brand Knowledge isstanding on two legs, or two main components: Brand Awareness and Brand Image.
