“Ultimately, the brand creates the desire in the customer to want to evaluate you and actually buy—it turns the long‑term into short‑term results.” – Shuchi Sarkar
She highlights the evolving role of marketers in aligning near-term sales efforts with long-term brand equity. By integrating brand strategy into demand generation, businesses can achieve both immediate impact and sustained growth. Sarkar’s insights stress that brand and demand are not opposing forces but interconnected pillars essential for building customer trust and enduring market relevance.
