Individual branding application, generally used as a professional means of promotion. As with other commercial brands, the objective of this practice is to generate value by adding a certain degree of prestige to the subject's image, that is separate from its knowledge, abilities and capabilities, by generally exploiting its peculiarities to achieve differentiation.
