By Marketers Association of Zimbabwe
A Superbrand is a brand that has established the finest reputation in its field. It offers customers significant emotional and/or tangible advantages over its competition, which consciously or subconsciously customers want to recognise. The Superbrand status strengthens a brand’s position, adds prestige, spotlights the brand in a competitive market and positions the brand as a success model.
