This study explores the relationship between marketing activities and brand equity in nonprofit organizations, specifically investigating the relational linkage between four selected marketing mix elements and brand equity through the mediating role of brand equity dimensions. Employing a structural equation model, the study empirically tests research hypotheses and finds some important implication for brand equity creation strategies for nonprofits. The results show that brand association is the only dimension that is positively related to brand equity, reflecting the current donation market in Korea where nonprofits have such a low presence that donors have little knowledge and chance to identify their brands and to build trust relationships with them. Furthermore, the results highlight the importance and roles of promotion and process marketing efforts, as they are proved to enhance brand association. The study also finds that promotion is positively related to brand awareness and process contributes to perceived quality and brand loyalty. Based on these findings, the study suggest that nonprofits make further efforts on active promotion and process development to create positive, differentiated images and better accessibility, and finally improve their brand equity.

오늘날과 같이 점점 더 치열해지는 무한 경쟁 환경에서 브랜드자산은 동원참치와 같이 시장을 개척하고 현재 시장을 선도하고 있는 기업에게 무엇보다 중요하게 관리되어야 할 대상이다. 해마다 수많은 유사 제품들이 시장에 쏟아져 나오는 상황에서 브랜드자산을 소홀히 관리하는 기업은 소비자와 투자자의 관심에서 멀어지게 되고, 후발주자들에게 추월당해 시장에서 선두자리를 빼앗기게 되는 것은 순간이기 때문이다. 1982년 대한민국에서 '참치캔'이라는 새로운 제품을 출시하는 것에서부터 3차에 걸친 경쟁업체와의 치열한 경쟁에서 시장선도자의 위치를 확고히 고수한 동원참치의 사례에서도 알 수 있듯이, 효과적인 브랜드관리를 통한 시장차별화 전략은 시장선도자의 위치를 사수하는 데 있어 큰 도움이 될 수 있다. 본 사례연구에서는 동원참치가 신제품 출시부터 현재의 성숙기 시장에 이르기까지 자사의 브랜드를 어떻게 관리해 왔으며, 이와 연관해 어떠한 차별화전략을 구사하여 변함없이 시장선도자의 위치를 고수하게 되었는지를 살펴본다. 동원참치의 효과적인 브랜드 관리를 통한 시장차별화 사례는 여타 기업들에게 브랜드관리에 대한 지침을 줄 수 있을 것이다.
