This work presents an analysis on brand, intangible asset that has assumed increasing contribution in the process of generation of value to the business, characterizing itself as a differentiation factor. One strong brand can surpass the factor price in the purchase decision and allows to move away the perception of commodity that the customers can attribute to the product or service. This study considers an analysis of the force of the brand in a segment where the product basically does not have differentiation, that is the sector of woollen steel sponge, in order to verify its contribution for the company performance as a competitive distinction. For this analysis the Bombril, whose brand was chosen it is synonymous of the category, being applied an adaptation of the method of brand evaluation considered by Oz?rio (2003) to confirm the premise of that a strong brand is an asset that handspike the result of the business. As Oz?rio model (2003) is indicated for brands considered strong, we performed a qualitative analysis based on the Muniz?s study of the dimensions of brand personality (2005), which is a determining factor for the strength of the brand, and premises identified by Aaker (1998) as characteristics of a company with a strong brand, which confirmed its applicability to the case. According to the model, a strong brand add value to the company by generating marginal cash flow, compared to operating margin typical of companies without the attribute of the brand in the industry and the value of company with brand attribute. The calculation of brand value would be obtained by the difference of the market value of the one company with brand value of the another company without brand value. Considering that the brand is an asset which leverages business results, whether by maintenance of customers, or by premium pricing and operating margins over industry companies that do not have the same brand recognition, for this study, we proposed an adaptation in Oz?rio model, evaluating the company's value with and without the brand attribute from the comparative premium pricing. The analysis allowed estimating Bombril brand?s value in R$ 190 million, similar to ranking published by Brand Finance in 2006, which had reference to the financial statements for 2005, the same base year of the analysis, R$ 183 million.
