Many companies have recognized the enormous potential of globalization. To expand into other markets, a global branding plan must be devised. When entering overseas markets, firms must carefully analyze various available tactics.

Companies have internal incentives to expand internationally, including increased sales and profits, return on core competencies, economies of scale, larger and more profitable customers, new markets, access to production resources, adaptability to trends, fierce domestic competition, and overseas capital (Keller, 2007).Norwegian sports clothing manufacturers have shown satisfactory export growth over the past decade (Sportsbransjen AS, 2009). According to Helly Hansen, Yu Xie, and Boggs (2006), both corporate and product brands compete in global markets. To maintain a competitive advantage in the global market, companies must prioritize creating great brand equity (Kabiraj and Shanmugan, 2011). Today's most successful global organizations have strong brands with a distinct personality and consistent image.

The study aims to develop a framework for other Norwegian brands to construct strong brand identities by analyzing their methods. This study will analyze the entrance tactics utilized by Norwegian sports clothing businesses to enter new markets.

Aaker and Joachimsthaler's Brand Identity Planning Model guides companies In developing a healthy brand identity by starting with the essence of their brand. This framework will be adapted to suit Norwegian sports-clothing businesses' branding strategies. Elements from this model will serve as a guide throughout the theoretical framework. To build a powerful brand identity in the sports business, it's vital to consider relevant theories. Aaker and Joachimsthaler's (2000) model incorporates theories on brand identity, personality, elements, relationships, place of origin, and positioning. See the theoretical framework below. Norwegian sports-clothing brands should consider these elements when approaching international markets as they impact brand equity and image.

Customers evaluate brands based on multiple factors, including perceived quality, intangible assets, and packaging (Jobber, 2007; Solomon, Polegato, & Zaichkowsky, 2009).Marketing has evolved from a product-focused approach to a brand-management approach that incorporates symbolic, emotional, and intangible dimensions to differentiate the product from competitors.

Branding and brand management have become a top priority for management and academic research due to the recognition that brands are the most important intangible assets for firms in a rapidly changing environment (Keller, 2008). Differentiating one's goods from competitors and satisfying a discerning consumer is becoming increasingly challenging.The lack of well-known international brands in Norway, combined with increased global competition, necessitates an investigation into how Norwegian sportswear brands can establish a clear brand identity, increase brand awareness, achieve a proper brand image, and effectively enter international markets.
