Abstract
Companies need to focus their innovation activities toward the generation of a unique and memorable brand experience to gain sustainable and significant competitive advantage.Hence, there is a growing need for practical guidance on how to transform brand values into relevant customer experience. Existing brands already generate a particular experience in the mind of the consumers. However, inconsistencies exist between what the brand wants to communicate and what the customer perceives. We propose a framework which helps us to identify and understand the reasons behind these inconsistencies.
