-The '''[[Brand]] Identity Prism''' is a concept coined by J. Kapferer in 1986. According to him, any brand can be identified by its characteristics. The Brand Prism is represented by a hexagonal prism which defines 6 characters of a brand. Just like a person is known by his name, job, education, physical and emotional traits, a brand can be identified by the following:-

-Essentially, the prism has the style and themes of the marketer (sender) on one side which are being received by the consumer (recipient) on the other side. The other axes of the prism define the level of internalization or externalization of the activities. When flipped over, the brand identity prism is an integral part of the '''brand identity pyramid''' – which has 3 parts – (i) The '''Brand Kernel''' which is the ultimate essence or core of the brand (ii) The '''brand style''' – Which brings about the brand personality from the essence and (iii) '''Brand themes''' – or executions of the styles. While more elaborate tools (eg. brand keys) are being put to use today, this is still a favorite (especially when we need to quickly understand a new brand or a competitor). For any brand to succeed, it needs to present a coherent image in the minds of the consumer. All the 6 facets of the brand need to tie in with the central brand essence. As soon as all the elements come into place, it just clicks ! Lets take the example of Marlboro – developed as a ladies brand (in 1924, with “Mild as may” !!! as the tagline), and later re-positioned in 1954 using a ‘mythical cowboy’ – The new campaign raised sales by 3241 % within the year !!. Many other similar masculine platforms were tried, later returning to the cowboy theme – lasting till today and becoming one of the most quoted examples in [[Positioning]]. Here in lies the [[power]] of brand coherence or a consistent positioning of all these elements. Here’s the Coca Cola example ( see Figure 2. below) of how multiple facets come together in the prism – all to deliver happiness to the consumer making him feel a strong bond with the bottle.<ref>The Brand Prism as part of brand identity [https://brandmanagerguide.com/2014/11/24/the-brand-prism-as-part-of-brand-identity/ BrandManagerGuide]</ref>
