Abstract
Purpose This paper applies the B2B Service Brand Identity Scale (SBI) to empirically assess the influence of service brand identity on brand performance for the first time. Design/methodology/approach Based on data collected from 421 senior marketing executives this paper applies the B2B Service Brand Identity Scale (SBI) and structural equation modeling to fulfill the above purpose. Findings Brand personality and human resource initiatives have a positive and significant influence on brand performance. Corporate visual identity, in addition to an employee and client focus, have an insignificant impact on performance. Consistent communications have a negative and significant influence on brand performance. Research limitations/implications Data was only collected from executives in the UK. This research would benefit from replicative studies. Practical implications This research empirically establishes the brand management activities that drive brand performance. Originality/value This is the first empirical study to assess the influence service brand identity has on brand performance.
