Looking at brands with different platforms, as a group we chose the coop and started to research the brands values and images of the brand it its different forms to learn the importance of image, recognizability of the brand and how they show their values. We found that the coop does a lot of work within the community and raising money and also voicing the opinion of people local to their shop. It is owned by its members which strengthens the ideas we had before beginning research that the coop was an organisation cantered on providing local services at a high quality.
