The deal - Whatever the brand it needs to be flying off the shelves and positioned in the best places within stores. Make sure your target customers get to see the brand, convey its values and be reminded of its presence from time to time!

Hi Serge,
Congratulations...!
As a Business or Product Brand Manager, you primary goal is to maintain/build or grow the brands reputation through product development, communications and engagements. You have to prioritise your work based on the brands current positioning and proposition strategy. You also need to (quickly) get a grip on how the brand's values are represented and perceived by it's users and finally, how the brand's marketing and sales strategy align with the company's own development and growth strategy, and not forgetting the culture of the business and how that affects the brand's values.
Hope this helps as a starting point. Feel free to connect if I can be of further help.
Good luck in your endeavors.
