The multidimensionality essentially pertains to appealing to various levels of consumer psyche, in terms of analysis of the reasons why consumers will be interested in a particular brand. Brand strategizing should be understood as the personification of a product, or creating an identity for the product which is as good as if the product is speaking in its own terms, as an individual among the crowd of competitors. This applies in both scenarios, both when the product is in a competitive marketing space and when the product is in a less competitive market space, although the demand s of the market space also plays a crucial role in formulating or crafting the individuality of a product.
