Differences in the construction of nation branding: Canada and Colombia

Marketing has broadened its application to territorial horizons. Today we talk about city branding, region or country branding. The purpose of this paper is to study in depth and to compare the evolution of the construction process of a country brand, based on a case study for Canada and Colombia. These two countries were selected because of their results in the 2010's positioning ranking of the Futurebrand company, with Canada being the first and Colombia being the last in the American index. The research is derived from the importance that "Country Brand" has acquired as a valid model of territorial promotion in the plans of development of the countries.
