The conclusions invite to maintain the dynamics of the questioning, to highlight the characteristics of the brands as resilient entities, it is assumed that brand management is the responsibility to accompany its growth over time based on respect for the value of identity. A set of actions are suggested that allow to value and rediscover the brand, such as adjustments based on self-knowledge and self-perception, analysis of the environment and management of uncertainty, emphasizing the importance of constant communication between the brand manager and the organization.
