This is my first post, so here goes:

In the expansion exercises for this lesson, one of the sentences uses the term "打造成为了."

From the lesson I know that "打造" means "establish", and from prior learning I know that "成为" means "to become."  Since the sentence is concerning a company that "established" itself as a world-class brand in two years, why is "成为" used in conjunction with "打造"?  Isn't "打造了" sufficient on its own in this context?  Please explain.  Thanks.

BTW, Chinesepod is hands-down the best Chinese language tool I've found online.  Keep up the good work.
