Billions of people using social media around the world do not know about products and
services offered by a specific company; therefore, it is the responsibility of the company to let
them know. Generally, some of the activities conducted through the social network to spearhead

their rivals in the eyes of the customer. Branding is developed in several areas including
merchandise promotion, advertisement, logos, and customer services. It creates awareness to
customers about the company, its product or services. The most significant element of branding
is logos especially when dealing with products, and they are brought in to enhance the brand’s
visual and corporate identity (Mooij M. K., 2014).

advisable to establish the identity as well. International branding typically involves advertising
the products or services to customers in different countries and cultures. Global branding ensures

company has a universal brand for all markets in several countries to ensure they achieve
consistency that is why it is essential to have a branding strategy. For instance, they can have a
single brand covering related products such as fat and oils, jams, among others (Kotabe, 2009).
