And rebranding a company takes a lot of money. Just ask Apple, a leader in computer, phone, and music technology. During the late 1980s and 1990s, Apple increased its advertising budget from 15 million to 100 million U.S. dollars. As a consequence. Apple became the biggest computer company in the world. Apple changed its logo and message. It built an advertising campaign centered on people. Marc Gobe, author of Emotional Branding, described Apple this way to Wired magazine: "It's like having a good friend. That's what's interesting about this brand. Somewhere they have created this really humanistic, beyond. business relationship with users and created a cult-like relationship with their brand. It's a big tribe, everyone is one of them. You're part of the brand." Like Apple, other companies recognize the bond that people form with certain brands. For instance. the Swedish furniture company IKEA produces the most widely read catalog in the world. This company has become a big hit in Europe and Africa, where the blue and yellow IKEA logo represents modern furniture design at an affordable cost. The Korean electronics Company Samsung has also recognized the importance of establishing a quality brand. In the early 2000s, it invested money in its product design and saw results in consumer approval. In this case it's qualitative, not quantitative, analysis that helps businesses determine the consumers' regard for the brand. Essentially, it's how the consumer feels about the brand that sets the price a product will sell for. Naomi Klein, author of the book No Logo, best summarizes the phenomenon of branding: "Brands conjure a feeling." They have an identity, and people define themselves through these brands.
