The corporate branding literature on B2B markets has developed fairly rapidly over the past decade. However, empirical support on employees' perception of corporate branding is very limited, particularly with respect to employees who fall outside the marketing/branding function within their organizations. This paper explores engineering consultants' views – as an under-researched context – on the implications of corporate branding.

From the findings, four hypotheses have been developed for future research.
