Define brand core, brand style and brand themes: With the identity prism template

Brand identity on three levels: Identity prism according to Kapferer

The identity model for capturing brand identity is divided into three levels: Brand core, brand style, brand themes. For the definition of the brand core, Kapferer recommends an analysis of the brand history as well as the brand values. The brand style shapes the communication of the brand’s culture, personality and self-image. The brand themes contain the relationships between the brand and the customers.
