Master in Brand Design and Management: Food, Wine and Tourism
Learn how to design memorable hospitality experiences with our Master's Degree in Brand Design and Management - Food, Wine and Tourism at IED Barcelona and IED Firenze
The Master's Degree in Brand Design and Management - Food, Wine and Tourism based at IED Firenze and IED Barcelona has a focus on how branding and brand strategies can be applied to the HRC industry. As opposed to products and services, restaurants and hospitality providers as a whole are like living entities'. To some extent, hospitality facilities can be regarded as a theatre scene where human interaction and magic blend together to tell a story.
When creating your brand strategy for a hospitality venue, you need to know how to set it apart from the competition. Your aim is to build up a clear and identifiable style which will work as the key factor driving customer choice. Indeed, your target customers will choose you among other restaurants, hotels, or wineries just because they want to 'hear that story'.
