Methodology: A mixed approach is used, where the main focus lies on qualitative data with quantitative elements to strengthen the arguments. A case study of Nespresso’s sustainability communication is presented to investigate the misalignment between the brand vision and the brand image.
Findings: The findings of this paper show that the misalignment between brand vision and brand image can have several reasons. Cognitive psychological factors play an important role in the communication process and need to be considered by brand managers when developing communication.
Research limitations: The research paper is based on only one company and the survey was based on a fairly homogenous group.
Original/value: The originality of the paper derives from the analysis of how cognitive
psychology affects brand communication. (Less)
