Executive Summary

ICICI Bank has aggressively expanded since its inception in 1994.The current CEO wanted the

word "aggressive" to be dropped from the customers’ perception. She emphasized on adding

two words to ICICI's imagery i.e. "young" and "dynamic”. This report will help us to

understand the brand image, equity and value to the brand.

We choose Y&R Brand Asset Valuator to measure the brand image of ICICI. We developed a

survey to measure Brand strength and Brand Stature. The survey was administered in Praxis

campus which has young students coming from different States of India. We collected data

from 61 respondents. We decided to measure the brand image of ICICI Bank in comparisons

to HDFC Bank, Axis Bank and State Bank India.

Colombo Morrison Model was used to measure Brand loyalty. We did adjust the model a

bit to help us give more accurate result. Van Westendrop Price Sensitivity Meter Model was

used to measure the price premium of the brand. Elasticity of the brand was measured using

two similar categories i.e. Telecom and Hotel industry, two associated industries Airline and

Modern Retail Store, and two no relationship categories i.e. Automobile and Soft Drinks.

Using Zaltman Metaphor Elicitation Technique (ZMET), the insights from all discussions

with respondents are ICICI bank as a brand represents the quality service provider, Innovator,

market leader and aggressive.

It is always difficult to value a brand which provides banking services .Given the current

dynamic banking environment selecting a brand which can be used as a generic brand was a

challenge. We choose IDFC Bank to be our generic brand. Brand valuation was done using

three methods:

i. Relative valuation (Rs. 568729914979)

ii. Excess return method (Rs. 1250500349366)

iii. Generic margin method (Rs. 2868828641158)

A synopsis of all the observations made from data are as follows:-

Brand Imagery

1. Almost 50% of the respondents have never used ICICI Bank.

2. Almost 60% of the respondents who have never used ICICI Bank may use its services

3. ICICI Bank is high on relevance and differentiation

Page 3: Brand Tracker-> ICICI Bank

4. ICICI Bank scores higher on knowledge but lower on esteem

5. ICICI Bank Brand Strength is bit low while the brand stature is high

6. People who use ICICI Bank don’t consider it to be more rugged

Brand Equity

1. For ICICI Bank Gravity (ratio of highly loyal customer to total no. of customers who

preferred ICICI Bank) of the brand is greater than Focus (ratio of highly loyal customer to

total no. of customers who actually purchased the brand) of the brand

2. ICICI bank enjoys a significant advantage compared to other brands when it comes to

perceived price of per financial transaction of a debit card

3. ICICI brand is elastic enough to enter into Hotel and Modern Retail Store format.

After analysing the data we found that ruggedness and aggressiveness are two biggest

challenge for the brand. Making Kapil Dev the brand ambassador will help in mellowing

down the aggressive image .A detailed marketing mix plan has been mentioned keeping all

these thing in mind.

Introduction ICICI Bank was originally promoted in 1994 by ICICI Limited, an Indian financial

institution, and was its wholly-owned subsidiary. ICICI Bank is India's largest private sector

bank with total assets of Rs. 6,461.29 billion (US$ 103 billion) at March 31, 2015 and profit

after tax Rs. 111.75 billion (US$ 1,788 million) for the year ended March 31, 2015. ICICI Bank

currently has a network of 4,050 Branches and 12,921 ATM's across India. ICICI Bank has

been at the forefront in leveraging technology in banking, through the launch of innovative

products and solutions aimed at making banking more convenient to customers.

The Bank has a multi-channel delivery model in line with its strategy to be present

where its customers are. The Bank offers customers the choice to bank at the channel, time and

place of their preference. The Bank also strives to anticipate the future needs of customers and

deliver those expectations through technology-based solutions. In fiscal 2015, the Bank scaled

up its offerings across various channels – branch, mobile, internet and social media. BrandZ

(in collaboration with WPP and Millward Brown) announced the top 50 most valuable Indian

brands ranking. ICICI Bank was ranked 4th in the list with a brand value of $5,122 million.

Brand Evolution ICICI is well known from its service that it is forefront in offering functional

convenience because of its aggressive expansion. However ICICI Bank’s scramble for growth

brought challenges as well. There was twice a run on ICICI savings accounts on rumours of

inadequate cash. The RBI and the Finance Minister had to reassure that ICICI bank was

adequately capitalized to allay fears of depositors. Thus just as several customers converted to

ICICI Bank, others got worried about its aggressiveness. The current CEO, Chanda Kochchar

changed that. She in fact slowed down and opted for consolidation.

In her leadership, ICICI would seek to retain all the early adjectives associated with the brand

like young and dynamic. But the word “aggressive” was dropped. Therefore the growth of

ICICI cannot be explained by emotional benefits. If anything its meteoric rise led to emotional

discomfort. Therefore customers are opting for private banks like ICICI more for convenience

than anything else.

Brand Philosophy ICICI Bank believes that trademark customer experience differentiates a bank from

competitors offering the same products and services. They wanted their service levels to be

better than the expectations that are built through marketing and advertising, because only then

will people start talking about their services.

The bank wants to touch customers in many ways (insurance, banking, mortgage financing,

retirement planning), and through various channels (branch, online, direct mail, telephone etc).

Their main motive is to catch customers young. Target audience must be youngsters in their

twenties with whom it can establish a lifelong relationship. Tap into its vast quantities of

information about customers’ habits.

Brand-Building Exercise ICICI Bank ran a campaign in the print media for educating the ordinary investor;

weekly investment articles were published in all major dailies. Amitabh Bachchan is their

national brand ambassador while Sharukh Khan is their global brand ambassador

Page 7: Brand Tracker-> ICICI Bank

6 | P a g e

6 | P a g e

ICIC Bank launched ‘Umbrella’ campaign: Conveyed values of safety, security, and shield

against calamities for investors (positioning the brand so as to communicate the value

proposition).

ICICI came up with something simple and surprising “Khayal Aapka”.The campaign stays

away from yelling from the rooftops about features and lets the visuals and story take over.

The campaign is kicking off the new reward program and there are many more touch-points

like print, out of home and in-bank education that would detail it further. ICICI Bank promises

to take care of customers at home, with Tab Banking.

Unified and new group identity for ICICI has been the focus of their branding strategy (a single

brand architecture).

Brand Image Measurement: Based On Young and Rubicam’s

Brand Asset Valuator We selected Y&R to measure the brand image of ICICI as the Y&R Brand Asset Valuator

shows realistic prospects for brands. This is because the Y&R Brand Asset Valuator measures

the value of a brand where it is created in people’s hearts and minds.

Figure 1 Y&R BAV

Brand Strength

Relationship between a brand’s differentiation and relevance factors is the yardstick for a

brand’s growth potential. “A relevant differentiation” is the vital prerequisite for dynamic

and successful brand building” – www.young-rubicam.de

Brand Stature

Esteem and knowledge indicate the involvement with a brand. It is the decisive gauge of the

goodwill which a brand enjoys. Properly managing these relationships is the key to successful

brand building and to retention of brand value.

Quantitative Survey Analysis We developed a survey to measure these characteristics. The survey was administered in Praxis

campus which has young students coming from different States of India. We collected data

from 61 respondents. Respondents were screened to ensure a decent level of familiarity with

the banking sector in India. The variables measured in this survey include usage, consideration,

differentiation, relevance, esteem, knowledge of the brands. We used existing measurement

scales whenever possible. An annotated version of this questionnaire, has been supplemented

with this report. We decided to measure the brand image of ICICI Bank in comparisons to other

comparable banks.

Usage

The percentage of respondents who use the brand occasionally or often. Almost 50% of the

participants have never used ICICI Bank.

Figure 2 Frequency of Usage

Consideration

The percentage of respondents who indicate that this is the brand, or one of the several brands

they would consider to buy or use. This data was collected from only those respondents who

have never used the respective brands. Almost 60% of the respondents who have never used

ICICI Bank may use its services. For SBI the number of non-users was very low which gave

us some unrealistic figures.

Figure 3 Consideration for the brands

Differentiation and Relevance

This Y&R BAV pillar captures the extent to which the brand is perceived as differentiated from

other brands. It is measured through items stating whether the brand is different, distinctive

and unique. Different captures the ability of an offering to stand out from its competition.

Difference can either be positive or negative, liked or disliked. Uniqueness tends to reflect a

brand’s essence, beliefs, and personality. Uniqueness is highly correlated to a brand’s

originality and authenticity. Distinctiveness is about a brand’s prestige and its pricing power.

Distinctiveness captures the brand’s ability to command a premium price its ‘worthiness.’

Relevance was captured by asking the question "How appropriate is the brand for you

personally?"

We obtained the differentiation score by using simple average of the scores (on a scale of 0 to

10) given by each respondent for the difference, uniqueness and distinctiveness of each brand.

While the relevance score was computed on a scale of 0 to 5.

DF=Different

DI=Distinct

U=Unique

R=Releance

D=Differentiation

Figure 4 Differentiation v/s Relevance

Horizontal axis-Differentiation

Vertical axis- Relevance

We see that SBI being a government bank has scored high in relevance while all the other

private sector banks scored low. Relative to other private sector banks ICICI Bank is high on

relevance and differentiation. This shows that the ICICI bank has the ability to enjoy a price

premium and has established a good connection with the people.

Esteem and Knowledge

Esteem captures the extent to which people hold a brand in high esteem. It is measured through

items asking about the regard, popularity and quality of the brand. Knowledge indicates the

level of intimate understanding of the brand

The esteem for the brand was the average derived from the score (on the scale of 0 to 10) of

respondents based own their own experience, their family/relatives/friends experience and how

much they respect the brand. While the score of knowledge was obtained by giving different

weightages to different question asked.

Brand Image

Respondents were asked to check whether they can associate the brand with four attributes.

Sincerity => Down-to-earth, honest, wholesome and cheerful

Excitement => Daring, spirited, imaginative and up-to-date

Competence => Reliable, intelligent and successful

Sophistication => Upper-class and charming

Ruggedness => Outdoor and tough

After analysing both the figures we can conclude that people who use ICICI Bank don’t

consider it to be more rugged .Maybe this one thing which ICICI Bank wants to change as it

must be deterring new customers. In the initial part of the report we saw how Chanda Kochchar

wants to change this image of ICICI Bank. The table below shows the personality attributes

attached to all the brands.

Table 1 the personality attributes attached to all the brands

Very few people attach ruggedness to HDFC and Axis Bank. When it comes to sincerity Axis

comes last in the list. Only ICICI bank was attached to almost all the attributes. This makes the

task of advertising and positioning really difficult. SBI on the other hand ranks at the top when

it comes to sincerity just because it’s a government bank.

Qualitative Survey Analysis

Why ZMET method?

Nonverbal communication is more prevalent than verbal communication.

Visual images are entry points for accessing people's knowledge structures.

And to understand the visual images in marketing communications.

Since our brand is in service sector, we wanted to understand their underlying expressions

of our brand and its competitors.

The customer’s similarity should be congruent with the marketing communication of the brand

to accept or to get the attention. So we preferred ZMET, a methodology that relies on visual

and other sensory images to elicit customers' metaphors and constructs. And to establish the

relationships among the constructs using both verbal and nonverbal stimuli.

About ZMET

The Zaltman Metaphor Elicitation Technique (ZMET) offers the potential to explore the

interconnected constructs that influence thought and behaviour, using images in non-verbal

terms to tap into underlying subconscious thought process and associations. From this

perspective, the significance of non-linear thinking which is linked to emotions and the

influence on brand choices is highlighted, posing an interesting research opportunity.

Participants were instructed to bring 9 pictures or images that explicitly illustrated the brand

ICICI.

Then we went to participant’s room for the interview, this helped them to feel more

comfortable. We employed a guided conversation approach.

Interviews followed the ZMET steps with the findings from each step:

Step 1: Storytelling. We have asked five participants to get 10 pictures that they can relate

their character or personality with the brand ICICI. Then participants were asked to describe

the content of each picture. Similarities among the participants are as follows:

Red colour

Safety

Family oriented

Aggressive

Innovation

Satisfaction

Easier & faster accessibility

Powerful personality

Faster customer service

Step 2: Sorting Task. Participants were asked to sort pictures into meaningful piles and to

provide a descriptive label for each pile, thereby establishing major themes like better

service, Innovation & brand personality.

Page 15: Brand Tracker-> ICICI Bank

14 | P a g e

14 | P a g e

Step 3: Construct Elicitation. Respondents were interrogated on their story or perception

towards ICICI. The most interrelationships were discovered on faster & quality services

with respect to their new needs and how ICICI’s service points (ATM, Bank, etc.) aggressive

reaching to provide the quality & faster service.

Step 4: Most Representative Picture. Respondents were asked to select the picture which

represented the brand’s image most. The qualities of the ICICI brand images are:

Leadership

Innovation

Quality service

Step 5: Opposite Images. Respondents were asked to describe a picture which was opposite

of the brand’s image. The insights behind the images are ICICI

For only rich people

Aggressive

Better service

Responsible

The insights from all discussions with respondents are ICICI bank as a brand represents the

quality service provider, Innovator, market leader and aggressive.

Respondent’s Discussions

Respondent’s discussions and the images are given below. Each respondent’s images

are collated and sorted from most to least images that represented the brand’s image most. The

right most image is the negative image that represents the brand image.

Respondent 1 –Women security- father-love-red-family-trust-emotional attachment

We see that the respondent relates the bank to women given the CEO IS Chanda Kochar and

the colour red is related to love which the respondent related to his/her father implying family’s

trust and emotional attachment to the bank

Figure 9 Respondent 1- Images

Respondent 2- Innovation-Technology-switch if the bank is not updated- helpful- discounts-

advertisements to Amitabh Bachhan because of his personality

We deduce that the respondent prefers the bank with a lot of innovation and

updated technology and if this is not provided he/she is willing to switch. He/she feels that the

Page 16: Brand Tracker-> ICICI Bank

15 | P a g e

bank is helpful and gives discounts. He considers the bank’s image as a safe, faster and strong

personality comparing it to that of Amitabh Bachhan.

Figure 10 Respondent 2- Images

Respondent 3- Leadership- CSR-switch to ICICI for social activity- trust family for

investment- student friendly bank-personality matters

We infer that CSR is one of the most important factor for consideration of a

bank by the respondent as he/she is going to select based on the social activities. She trusts her

family for investment and perceives the bank as a student friendly bank. Personality is an

important factor for the respondent.

Figure 11 Respondent 3- Images

Respondent 4- Service is good-Faster- Aggressive-helpful employees- safety and security-

customer service-customer satisfaction

We infer that the respondent is very much satisfied with the service and the help

of employees. He/she feels aggressive, safe and secure banking with icici and satisfied with

the customer service.

Respondent 5- Innovation, Faster service (ATM) lot of branches-customer service- banking

services-easy home loans and service-aggressive

We see that the respondent prefers bank with a lot of branches and good and faster

customer service. Easy banking services and availability of home loans and service is very

crucial. ICICI is considered to be a very aggressive bank.

Figure 13 Respondent 5- Images

Combining the insights gathered from all the 5 respondents we conclude that:

Family trust- personality of bank-safety and security-customer service with satisfaction-

women empowerment-aggressive-Amitabh Bachhan

Considering the response of all the respondents we conclude that ICICI is a trustworthy bank

with a high level of customer satisfaction because of its services, updated technology, services

and innovation. It is considered to be an aggressive bank given that its CEO Chanda kochar is

an aggressive person by nature and has a strong personality which is also portrayed by their

penetration in terms of online services, ATMs, banks and many mother service points. People

also connect the personality of Bank with that of Amitabh Bachhan, who is known for

trustworthy & responsible personality.

Promotion Mix We have prepared the entire Promotion Mix for ICICI Bank based on the observations from

quantitative and qualitative survey analysis.

Management wants the perception of ICICI (of being aggressive) to change

After analysing both the figures we can conclude that people who use ICICI Bank don’t

consider it to be more rugged

The platform which has to be selected of the Non-Users (people whose brand perception

has to be changed)

ICICI Bank Brand Strength is bit low while the brand stature is high.

Penetration is the most important factor which can turn the table for the brand.

So the investment on integrated marketing communication are based on above insights.

Why Kapil Dev as a brand ambassador?

ICICI Bank has introduced a wide range of solutions and apps to make banking a

pleasurable experience for the youth (e.g. Pockets). The MD and CEO wants to pluck

aggressiveness form ICICI’s image. Keeping these things in mind we suggest to bring in Kapil

Dev as a face of ICICI.

This will help in adding humbleness to ICICI’s image and given the upcoming sport

events we believe a sportsman would be a better medium to communicate with the youth. Kapil

Dev because of his achievements and off-the field character is famous among both the youth

and the old. Amitabh Bachhan’s add should still be continued as it helps in brand recall.

Brand Equity Measurement The value of premium that the company realizes from the product with a recognizable name as

compared to its generic equivalent. Companies can create brand equity for their products by

making them memorable, easily recognizable and superior in quality and reliability .Mass

marketing campaigns can also help to create brand equity .If consumers are willing to pay more

for a generic product than for a branded one .the brand is said to have negative brand

equity if the company had a major product recall or caused a widely publicized environmental

disaster.

Brand equity is measured by three metrics

I. Measurement of loyalty

II. Measurement of price premium

III. Measurement of leveragability (elasticity)

I. Measurement of loyalty

There are two approaches to measure brand loyalty:-

1. Share Tier Model

2. Colombo Morrison Model

We selected the Colombo Morrison Model because for banks there are multiple price points

hence very difficult for the customers to assign a price to a particular quality. Colombo

Morrison Model is generally used for categories where brand loyalty lies medium and high.

Adjustments to the model-We tried to analyse the brand loyalty for two banking products-

Debit Cards and Credit Cards. It is very common for us to hold more than one debit/credit cards

nowadays, so in these cases we have divided the actual loyalty of the person by the number of

brands he is using for a particular product.

GR = Gravity which is the ratio of highly loyal customer to the column total

F = Focus which is the ratio of highly loyal customer to the row total

PR= Probability of repurchase

PS = Probability of a switch

Eq 6=> PR = G(i) + (1- G(i))*F(i)

Eq 7=> PS = ∑(1-G(i))*F(j)

Where i,j = HDFC , ICICI Bank , Axis Bank , SBI

II. Measurement of Price Premium

Van Westendorp Price Sensitivity Meter Model

This is a technique for measuring consumer price expectations for a product in an established

category. It enables the marketer to see a range of prices that might be appropriate, and to see the

falloff in consumer interest that occurs as price rises. The Van Westendorp Price Sensitivity Analysis

(PSA) determines a range of acceptable prices and an optimal price point based on an analysis of

price/value ratings obtained from consumers. Key data analyzed is from responses to questions

about what prices for a product or service are considered too high or too low

For each banking product there are multiple price points for a customer so we tried to build a model around the product (Debit card and Auto loans) where we allowed only the quality of banking service and one price point to change by keeping everything else constant. For Credit Cards we tried to play around only with late payment fee and the discounts and bonuses offered by the brand. Since banking is a highly regulated industry, the prices for various products are somewhat fixed by RBI itself. So our motive behind this study is just to state the power of the brand (pricing power) over other banks. Following are various products which our surveyed sample has used. Debit Cards (Higher the cost per financial transaction better the services of the bank and lower the cost per financial transaction poorer the services of the bank)

Page 30: Brand Tracker-> ICICI Bank

Figure 17 Price Premium measurement of debit card for brands

RBI has allowed all the banks to charge anywhere between Rs.8 to Rs.20 per transaction (when the number of transactions crosses the limit of 5 per month). All the banks charge the same amount i.e. Rs.20 per transaction. Since the price is regulated we cannot recommend any price to the bank but can understand which bank enjoys some advantage when it comes to the perceived price. Eq 8=> Price advantage = Bargain Price/Actual Price Figure 18 Price advantage for brands on debit cards

So we see that ICICI bank enjoys a significant advantage compared to other brands when it comes to perceived price of per financial transaction of a debit card. Credit Cards (Higher the late payment charge better would be the discounts and rewards offered by the bank and vice-versa) Figure 19 Price Premium measurement of credit card for brands

A bank’s relationship and tie-ups with other brands in other services tells us a lot about its brand power. So the rewards and discounts it can juice out is directly proportional to the brands power. Here we tried to tap this power to understand the banks power to charge a premium for its services. The late payment charges are somewhat regulated so we cannot suggest a particular price for the bank but we can see the advantage which the banks enjoy when it comes to perceived pricing. Figure 20 Price advantage for brands on credit cards

SBI leads by a good margin but ICICI Bank leads the way when it comes to private banks. Auto Loans ( Higher the interest rate better the services of the bank and lower the interest rate poorer the services of the bank) The total number responses for this category was very low for us to do any analysis.

III. Measurement of Elasticity

Elasticity is the ability of the brand to be launched successfully into related or even unrelated

categories. It test how flexible the brand is. We took two similar categories i.e. Telecom and

Hotel industry, two associated industries Airline and Modern Retail Store, and two no

relationship categories i.e. Automobile and Soft Drinks. Figure 21 Measurement of Elasticity of brands
