Learn Farsi: بدون تبلیغات، برندسازی هیچ‌وقت موفق نمی‌شود. - Without advertising, branding will never succeed.

It is a compound noun created from the English loanword برند (brand), the present stem of the verb ساختن (to make/build) which is ساز (sâz), and the noun-forming suffix ی- (-i). This literally means 'brand-making' and is a very productive pattern for forming abstract nouns in Farsi.

Why is the verb نمی‌شود negative when هیچ‌وقت already means 'never'?

In Farsi, negative adverbs and pronouns like هیچ‌وقت (never), هیچ‌کس (nobody), or هیچ‌چیز (nothing) always require the main verb to be negative as well. Because of this double negative rule, 'will never succeed' translates literally as 'never will not succeed'.

تبلیغات features the Arabic plural suffix ات-. Why is it translated here as the singular 'advertising'?

While تبلیغات is technically a plural word meaning 'advertisements', Farsi commonly uses it as a singular mass noun to represent the overall industry or concept of 'advertising' or 'propaganda'.

Is an ezafe required after the word بدون?

Yes, بدون (without) acts as a preposition that requires an ezafe to link it to its object. Even though it is not written, it must be pronounced as bedun-e tabliğât.
