Talk:Place branding/Archives/2012

Expert Subject
Hi,

I have a couple of issues with the article. I will try to clean it up as time allows. - Simon Anholt first used the term in 1998. He talks about nation-brand. Then there is van Ham's 2001 article. - If there is a claim that place branding is the new umbrella term (which I agree), it is definitely not known as destination branding, place marketing or place promotion. - Las Vegas example is not a branding example. - Everything is based on an economic understanding of place branding, there are several other aspects. - Freire's main argument is about geo-branding. It is highly understated. - There is a more structured debate about the role of communication. - There should be something about place development and place management. - There should be a section about public diplomacy and soft power studies as well I believe.

I also think both city branding and nation branding should be integrated into this article.

Cleanup
Dear all,

I changed the first sentence of this article as I believe the first recorded use of the term is Simon Anholt's in 'Destination Branding,' and any earlier references are to 'place marketing.'
