 Today I am uploading a presentation with a clear marketing and PR angle. This one is devoted particularly to nation/national brands, where several examples are analyzed and where various benchmarks are taken into account. The biggest case study is Ukraine. A big number of my students were coming from this country, so I thought it would be quite interesting for them - and their peers, too - to analyze, how the complicated situation of UA is represented in various international studies and surveys. What all of my students, not only the Ukrainian ones, took away from these classes what the fact that no matter the "hard" statistics on infrastructure, corruption, governance etc., the biggest potential of UA lies in its people, especially the young ones - including/especially the ones like my students and that the future of tchem and their country depends on them.

Nation brands and the case study of ukraine

  1. 1. Nation brands and the case study of Ukraine Katarzyna Rybka-Iwańska Course on Public Diplomacy 2017
  2. 2. Nations continue to shape and reshape their identities/to rebrand themselves, because their reality changes they need to project this real change symbolically to all the audiences with whom they relate They want, as far as they can, to align perception with reality For example: The Dutch East Indies became Indonesia, its capital Batavia became Jakarta, a new language, Bahasa Indonesia, was constructed. There is a need to build a national consensus around language, presumed ethnicity, religion (sometimes), culture, etc. Some countires have a long but interrupted history, like Georgia, while others, such as Tajikistan, have been carved out of the former imperium and therefore have difficulties in establishing legitimacy.

  3. 3. Brand export: Mercedes, Audi, BMW, VW are Germany and Germany is cars – it is: advantageous – everything connected with engineering and efficiency gets credit Siemens, Bosch, Braun, Miele Disadavantageous – other brands do not underline their German origins Jil Sander, Hugo Boss, Nivea, Allianz If the nation’s leadong brands are based around too narrow a sphere of activity, those flagship brands in the secotr may flourish, but the orher brands may find it more difficult Contradictory examples: Gucci and Ferrari come from Italy; Jaguar, Burberry and Scotch whisky come from Britain, France had Aribus, Dior and Hennessy.

  4. 4. Foreign direct investments, influeced by local legislation, tax breaks, regional funding, education level of employees, government attitues, transport infrastructure – but being fashinable as well Tourism – competition over tourists, but the danger of gettinhg large numbers of tourists that a countiry cannot effectively cope with and who spend very little money per head is visible Wally Olins – three areas of the competition of the nations Source: The New Public Diplomacy.

  5. 5. Launching and managing a national branding programme is inifinitely more complex, sohpisticated, difficult and long term than managing a similar activity for a commercial organization It takes years, and the pay-off is slow + not readily measurable/tangible Politicians like quick, measurable results that get them votes – that is one of the reasons why so many national branding programmes are taken up enthusiastically and then dropped.
