Abstract: The peculiarities of the human activity in the modern society, titled so by postmodernism,
are characterized by its endless transformations in time and space, by incertitude and riskogenics of actions, by the lack of time resources; and so, there is a need to reconsider the traditional marketing approach to the communications of branding. Being revised from the perspective of the social system, branding achieves the potential of new insight and perspective management innovations.
Many people participate in the processes of branding within this system; and they have their own intentions and goals that often do not correspond to desires of the managers of the companies that promote the brands. The internal and external impacts on the branding system result in changes that can cause not only the emerging chaos but also self-development of branding system. The experience and intuition of the managing subject typically saves the branding system from becoming rigid, makes to accept and implement the creative and management solutions that seem to be absurd at first but then turn out to be productive. This type of ideas can be driven in particular by the information wars practice.
Keywords: postmodernism; brand; branding; social system of branding; marketing; self-development; soft power; linear/nonlinear management.
