In today's highly competitive environment, the success of a company is often determined by the right brand management and by efforts to continuously improve the brand value. It is therefore an essential task of marketing. But determining the value of the brand is a very difficult task and it is of interest to both theoretical research and marketing practice. Submitted thesis provides an overview of the current state of knowledge about this very important issue both in terms of leading authors from the scientific and academic communities and in terms of marketing practice in the form of models of specialized agencies. Thus formed synthesis can then be used by academics in the orientation of their future research and also by marketing managers to evaluate the effectiveness of approaches currently being used. For this purpose, marketing managers can also use case studies in each chapter, which show the issue on the specific example of successful companies. Qualitative expert research among managers of successful international companies can serve the same goal. Managers of small and medium-sized enterprises can apply a formalized model of the growth of a brand, which is very intuitive and does not require deeper knowledge of mathematics.
