MKT-378 examines brand communication as the practical work of consistently expressing a brand's identity and values across every channel and touchpoint a customer encounters, connecting the strategic brand concepts of positioning and equity to their actual real-world execution.
From brand strategy to brand communication
The course covers how a brand's strategic positioning (developed in courses like Strategic Brand Management) must be translated into consistent, executed communication — the tone, visuals, and messaging customers actually encounter.
Consistency across every touchpoint
MKT-378 covers ensuring brand communication stays consistent across advertising, packaging, customer service, and digital presence, since any inconsistent touchpoint can undermine the brand identity built elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions
MKT-400 covers the strategic side of branding — building and measuring brand equity, making decisions about positioning and brand extensions — while MKT-378 covers the practical execution of that strategy: how the brand's identity and values actually get communicated consistently across advertising, packaging, service, and every other customer touchpoint. A sound brand strategy from MKT-400 still needs the disciplined, consistent execution taught in MKT-378 to actually reach and influence customers as intended.
Customers build their overall impression of a brand from the sum of every interaction they have with it, and a single jarring inconsistency — a customer service interaction that feels generic when the brand's advertising promises something premium and personal, for example — can create doubt about which impression is the 'real' brand, undermining the carefully built consistency elsewhere. MKT-378 covers full touchpoint consistency because brand communication's value depends on customers experiencing the same coherent identity everywhere, not just in the channels a company pays the most attention to.
