The study concluded that branding plays a vital role in sustaining competitive advantage and must be integrated with other elements of the marketing mix. However, the research faced limitations, including restricted access to organizational information, financial constraints, and time limitations, which affected the depth of data collection. Based on the findings, it is recommended that P.Z Nigeria Plc invest in making its branding strategy more unique, innovative, and appealing while equipping its branding team with advanced training.
