Abstract

Competition today induces companies to adopt a philosophy of market orientation in search of creating and sustaining a competitive edge. Many organizations have turned to intangibles such as the building of a brand in an effort to achieve a long term advantage and differentiation from other companies. This empirical study analyzed, with a market oriented philosophy, the marketing strategies involved in the building of a brand. Theoretical bases of the subject were developed followed by a qualitative survey to analysis and describe the building of a solid brand (VIVO) in mobile telephone services, a highly competitive sector which has undergone intense transformations in recent years. The building of a brand, beginning with a change in the company cultural resulting from market conditions and company strategy, was stressed.
