The purpose of this study was to explore how to change customers' brand association with Prada. This paper further develops past research on the brand association by adding brand position as an independent variable. Some data analyses were performed using SPSS 23. This research concluded that brand position, brand awareness, and brand experience affect brand association. In addition, brand experience affects brand association the most.
