<p>A powerful brand manages to attract quality residents, tourists, investors and worldwide events. The reputation of a city must be built on positive, attractive, unique, sustainable and relevant qualities for various kinds of people. A brand strategy can determine the most realistic and competitive strategic vision for a city and maybe, can also, ensure that the one vision is sustained and enriched by every investment and communication between the city and the rest of the world. It is necessary that everyone involved in the creation of the brand demonstrates and communicates the same idea of the brand in order not to confuse people. For the same reason, this process has to be treated at the highest level of local authority and to have the mayor’s support. The communication sustained by a city can regard the exported products, self-promotion in the field of commerce, tourism and investments, the internal and external policies behavior, the way it promotes its culture and protects the environment, as well as the way it competes with other cities when it comes to sport and local events. If well conceived and implemented, a brand strategy can make an important difference on the local trust generated, as well as upon the external performance of the city.</p>
