Are marketers overestimating the powers of branding? Do you believe brands have the powers ascribed to them (e.g., as experience provider or as a lovemark)? Can brands create social and/or cultural values?

If your answer is yes to either of these questions, explain your answer(s) by giving examples of brands that have managed to do this.

If your answer is no to either of these questions, explain why you believe brands fail to achieve this particular outcome.

Regardless of whether your answer is yes or no, do you think brand should shape social and/or cultural values? Why or why not.
