Branding Concepts
Some marketers distinguish the psychological aspect of a brand from the experiential aspect. The experiential aspect consists of the sum of all points of contact with branding and is known as branding experience. The psychological aspect, sometimes refered to as the branding image, is a symbolic construct created within the minds of people and consists of all the information and expectations associated with a product or service.
Marketers seek to develop or align the expectations comprising the brand experience through branding, so that a brand carries the "promise" that a product or service has a certain quality or characteristic which make it special or unique. A brand image may be developed by attributing a "personality" to or associating an "image" with a product or service, whereby the personality or image is "branded" into the consciousness of consumers. A brand is therefore one of the most valuable elements in an advertising theme, as it demonstrates what the brand owner is able to offer in the marketplace. The art of creating and maintaining a brand is called brand management.

You products and your style.

Poor brand may represent negative impression about your product or be the result of an absence of that impression.

Since we are dealing with psychology, it is clear that good image and reputation is very hard to build, but it is even harder to restore.
