This report presents the results of the first two stages of an ongoing study<br />
conducted by researchers at the University of Bath into the role of brands in<br />
the everyday lives of junior school children (ages 7-11) in the UK. Stage 1<br />
was completed in October 2004 and Stage 2 in July 2005. <strong>The</strong> focus of the<br />
research is understanding the meaning of brands from the child’s viewpoint.<br />
