Brand Tagline Role-Play & Creative Interpretation ActivityClass Activity13-10-2025To enhance creative thinking and brand recall among students, a role-play activity was conducted where students were assigned popular brand taglines and asked to enact them without revealing the brand name. Their peers identified the brand based on performance cues such as gestures, expressions, and storytelling elements. This activity helped students understand brand identity, emotional triggers, and marketing communication strategies in a learner-centric, experiential manner. It also encouraged teamwork, improvisation, and audience engagement, making the branding lesson more interactive and memorable.Semester I – Marketing & Brand Management (APR 7524)
