Abstract: Brand equity is defined and measured by different researchers in different ways. While one school of thought measures brand equity as the additional preference a consumer has for a branded product over a similar no-name product, another school of thought led by Aaker defines it in terms of a set of assets, popularly called the sources of brand equity. This study examines Aaker's brand equity model in the Iran cell phone market. Based on this model, three global brands of cell phones in this market are ranked. The study uses a sample of 196 customers in Tehran. The results show that among different aspects of Aaker's model, perceived quality is the most important one among Iranian consumers, so marketing managers should consider this fact in their activities in Iran markets.
