Place branding is a global phenomenon that has embraced the most diverse countries and cities of the world. Territorial branding, the current form of which was formed in the late 1990s, has become a real mainstream in the field of territorial development and management, as well as the market for knowledge-based services, which allows us to speak of it not only as a temporary fashion, but also as a long-term and developing communication system. The ongoing changes in the field of mass communications and culture are forcing us to seriously rethink the meaning of territory branding and to conduct a detailed analysis of the trends and design approaches that exist in it.

Within the framework of the MAGOLEGO master's program at the Higher School of Economics, the author's course "Place Branding" has been taught at the Department of Integrated Communications of the Faculty of Communications, Media and Design since 2013. The interest in the discipline as a field of knowledge and project activity is associated for students with the relevance of this direction in the world market of knowledge-based services.
