What is it about?

Place branding is a complex concept, so for one using it there is need in clear understanding what it means. However, there is a gap between place branding complexity and the way this concept actually used in public administration practice.

Therefore, one of the ways to increase place branding effectiveness lays in improvement of brand-management by regional administrations. This study reveals in which ways regional administrations could affect place branding effectiveness.
