Brand creates value through cheaper acquisition, more value per customer, and a moat
Brand adds commercial value in three ways a CFO already tracks: customer acquisition gets easier (trusted brands convert faster and cheaper, less discounting, better CAC:LTV), more value is realised per customer over time (pricing power, repeat purchase, margin), and brand plus community becomes a moat that is hard to replicate and insulates against downturns.
