Significant parameters in brand building of a university

Abstract

In a consideration of an ever-increasing competition for students in higher education it is necessary to analyze a brand perception of a university or more precisely of a faculty, manage the brand effectively and adjust marketing communication to target groups which will arouse positive image and at the same time retain it. An analysis of brand image of a selected Czech faculty (Faculty of Multimedia Communications of TBU in Zlin) is therefore an aim of this contribution. Based on the results of two quantitative surveys it is necessary to determine the applicant perception of image parameters of the selected faculty first and then verify whether the contradictory factors significantly affect the perception of chosen university prestige.
