🌟 WHAT IS BRANDING?

Branding is like giving your city, product, or company its own special personality.
You make a name, a logo, and maybe a slogan so people will remember it.

👉 Example:
When you see the yellow “M” and hear “Love ko ‘to,” you instantly think of McDonald’s, right?
That’s because of branding — it makes you remember a brand just by seeing or hearing something!

So in short:

Branding = name + logo + slogan that shows what makes you special.
