Abstract

How do brands develop personalities? This research is an attempt to extend the concept put forth by Aaker (1997) i.e. the development of a brand personality scale. Brand Personality is defined as “the set of human characteristics associated with a brand” (Aaker 1997).The concept of Brand Personality is predicated on the assumption that certain human personality traits are assigned in general by consumers to brands. This research thus intends to investigate how new brands can develop these human-like personality traits.
