The management guru Peter Drucker famously said, “The purpose of a business is to create a customer,” for which one requires marketing. BBA Branding and Advertising focuses on the essential elements of creating and sustaining a brand’s identity. A Brand reflects the persona or often even the culture and reputation of a company or product. Advertising, one of the pillars of marketing, focuses on attracting new customers and increasing sales. It usually refers to paid campaigns meticulously crafted to reach a target audience using various media, such as the Internet, newspapers, magazines, posters, television, and radio. BBA in Branding and Advertising is an ideal choice for those seeking to master the art of acquiring and retaining customers while ensuring sales growth and profitability.

The BBA in Branding and Advertising prepares students to create synergy between branding and advertising.
