Introduction
The five brand personality dimensions, based on Aaker's brand
personality framework, provide a foundational lens through
which the human characteristics of brands can be understood
and categorized. These dimensions are Sincerity, Excitement,
Competence, Sophistication, and Ruggedness. Each dimension
encapsulates distinct traits that influence how consumers
perceive and relate to brands, offering insights into crafting a
brand's identity to resonate with its target audience.
