Abstract

The employees of a brand convey its promises and experiences to external stakeholders (i.e. customers). Whether or not the customers will have a proper brand experience depends on the way the employees convey the brand’s value and promises to them. In this regard, businesses can achieve success in internal branding, that is competition, when they align the external brand strategy with the internal strategy. This study theoretically elaborates on the concept of internal branding, its importance, goals, techniques, and tools. It also involves a case study employing the qualitative research method. The case study includes face-to-face interviews with Vicco’s marketing, production, and human resources managers concerning the firm’s internal branding activities. Based on these interviews, the importance attached to internal branding, the units responsible for it, the tools employed, its success factors, and the troubles experienced are determined, and recommendations are put forward in this matter.

Özet

Çalışanlar, marka vaatlerini ve deneyimlerini dış paydaşlara, yani müşterilere iletenlerdir. Müşterilerin uygun bir marka deneyimine sahip olup olmayacağı, çalışanların marka değerini ve vaatlerini iletme biçimine bağlıdır. Bu bağlamda işletmeler dış marka stratejisini içsel stratejiyle uyumlu hale getirebildikleri takdirde iç markalaşmada dolayısıyla rekabette başarıya ulaşabilirler. Bu çalışmada teorik olarak; içsel markalaşmanın kavramı, önemi, amaçları, teknikleri ve araçlarından detaylı olarak bahsedilmiştir. Çalışmanın devamında ise nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanılarak örnek olay incelemesine yer verilmiştir. Örnek olay incelemesi amacıyla bir işletmenin pazarlama, üretim ve insan kaynakları bölüm yetkilileri ile işletmenin içsel markalaşma faaliyetleri konusunda yüz yüze görüşme yapılmıştır. Bu görüşmeler neticesinde; içsel markalaşmaya verilen önem düzeyinin ne olduğu, hangi bölümlerin sorumlu olduğu, kullanılan araçların neler olduğu, başarı faktörleri ve karşılaşılan zorlukların neler olduğu tespit edilmiş ve bu doğrultuda çeşitli önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
