Olika teorier kring varumärkeshantering och varumärkesbyggande ställs mot empiri och sekundärdata från tre fallföretag som bytt eller ska byta namn.

Marknadsföring utgör inte någon särskiljande effekt idag och konsumenter blir visuellt överstimulerade av alla olika reklambudskap. På grund av detta måste företag numera skapa en djupare och personligare kontakt för att nå ut till sina kunder. Genom att använda sig av emotionella inslag i en produkt gör det att kunden uppfattar produkten mer som en upplevelse istället för enbart dess funktion. Skapandet av en upplevelse sker genom att sätta människans fem sinnen i centrum. Genom att använda sig av flera sinnen kan även ett mervärde skapas, vilket gör att företag inte längre enbart kan koncentrera sig på kärnprodukten.
