Abstract

Internal branding for a place is a tough objective, most place brands are created with the external audience in mind. The people of a place are under no compulsion to internalise the brand. The Case Note prepared in the context of Kerala Tourism offers an insight into the different internal audiences in case of a place brand, and what branding initiatives mean to them. The paper also tries to understand the obvious and latent connotations of an internal branding exercise.
