In this age’s rapidly evolving market, understanding consumer perceptions of brands and their promotional strategies is crucial for businesses to remain relevant and engaging. This research explores consumer attitudes towards brands, the key factors influencing brand perception, and emerging trends in brand promotion. Based on survey data, the findings indicate that majority of consumers have positive perception of brands, with product/service quality being the most influential factor in brand evaluation. Social media is identified as the dominant channel for brand discovery, far surpassing traditional media. Additionally, the study highlights the growing importance of authenticity and transparency in brand communication, as consumers increasingly value ethical business practices and responsiveness. Personalized messaging and engaging content are preferred methods for brand communication, emphasizing the need for brands to foster stronger connections with their audiences. Looking ahead, consumers predict that artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), will revolutionize brand promotion through hyper-personalized marketing and immersive experiences. Influencer marketing, however, remains a powerful tool, though concerns about its long-term credibility persist. Sustainability and ethical branding are also gaining traction, reflecting a shift towards more responsible and value-driven brand strategies. Overall, this study underlines the dynamic nature of brand perception and the necessity for businesses to adapt to emerging digital trends to maintain consumer engagement and trust.
