What is Brand Architecture?
It is the logical, strategic and relational
structure for all of the brands in the
organization’s brand portfolio. The
objective is to maximize clarity,
synergy and leverage to maximize
customer value and internal
efficiencies.
                     Master brand


                        Subbrands


                     Product brands

                  Stand-alone brands


                                              3
Why: A clear brand architecture is to
help structure a brand's position both
now and for the future helps
management in the task of building that
brand and ensuring that everyone within
the organization as well as their ad
agencies are working to a common and
clearly understood goal.




                                          4
Why do we need one? Consider GM has
32 brand names, P&G has hundreds,
BMW has 3, Nintendo has 2 and
Starbucks has 1. It gets more and more
complicated as most companies have
multi-brands from merger and
acquisitions, aggressive brand
extensions due to pressure for quick
profits and increasing complex structures
involving sub-brands, endorsed brands
and co-brands.


                                            5
Developing brand architecture: Often
the task includes periodic regrouping
multiple product groups, brand families,
reposition them to reflect their role in
the market and to create a structure for
immediate successful marketing. The
establishment of a clearly understood
and coherent brand architecture creates
the structure within which the vital day-
to-day tactical decisions can be made.


                                            6
Brand architecture is strategic: Because
many marketing (channel, pricing,
advertising and promotions) decisions
are mostly tactical in nature, without a
well organized brand architecture in
place, these day-to-day tactical
decisions become strategic and long-
winded in nature.




                                           7
What are main advantages of
developing a brand architecture?
1. It helps everyone in the
organization see and understand all
the connections between corporate
brands, sub-brands and master
brands.

advertising and promotions.

What are main advantages of
developing a brand architecture?
3.Protect brands by being over-
leveraged and being diluted by over-
stretching communications
messaging and graphic design
options.




                                       10
P&G’s brand architecture effectively
manage the relationships between
product, brands and market segments.
Head and Shoulders dominates the
dandruff control shampoo category and
Pert Plus targets the market for combined
shampoo and conditioner. Pantene is
positioned as a brand with a technological
heritage and the benefit of hair vitality.
These brands basically optimizes their
brand coverage instead all products under
a P&G brands.

                                                 12
The biggest mistake for any brand
portfolio is not having a brand
architecture. One can allow each brand
to be managed in isolation simply
because what is right for an individual
brand may be wrong for the portfolio.




                                          13
It is very difficult to generalize what and
how to put a vast number of brands in
categories and wed sets of them and their
relationships into a composite brand
architecture. Each industry and category
context is very different. The tendency is
towards having a “master brand” and only
when there is a compelling need for a
separate brand is one considered since
there is a lot of money involved in the
building of a new brand.


                                              14
Four steps to optimize your brand
architecture?
1. Start by looking at different ways to
look at segmentation and map your
brand portfolio to those
segmentations.

perform analysis to see if there are
sufficient growth opportunities in
those leadership brands to make up
for the revenue-losing brands.

4. Explore opportunities to reduce

extending those leadership brands or
opportunities for new brands for any
underserved segments.

How often people want to create
another new brand? So the big
question is can the business support a
new brand? The needs usually consist
of one or more of the following:
- Create and own a different set of associations
- Develop a totally new product offering or a category
- Avoid conflict in brand association and identities
- Avoid channel conflict
- Create a price-driven label for competitive reason
- Fulfill needs for new geographies or unique customer
segments

Brand Masterclass Week Four

  • 3. What is Brand Architecture? It is the logical, strategic and relational structure for all of the brands in the organization’s brand portfolio. The objective is to maximize clarity, synergy and leverage to maximize customer value and internal efficiencies. Master brand Subbrands Product brands Stand-alone brands 3
  • 4. Why: A clear brand architecture is to help structure a brand's position both now and for the future helps management in the task of building that brand and ensuring that everyone within the organization as well as their ad agencies are working to a common and clearly understood goal. 4
  • 5. Why do we need one? Consider GM has 32 brand names, P&G has hundreds, BMW has 3, Nintendo has 2 and Starbucks has 1. It gets more and more complicated as most companies have multi-brands from merger and acquisitions, aggressive brand extensions due to pressure for quick profits and increasing complex structures involving sub-brands, endorsed brands and co-brands. 5
  • 6. Developing brand architecture: Often the task includes periodic regrouping multiple product groups, brand families, reposition them to reflect their role in the market and to create a structure for immediate successful marketing. The establishment of a clearly understood and coherent brand architecture creates the structure within which the vital day- to-day tactical decisions can be made. 6
  • 7. Brand architecture is strategic: Because many marketing (channel, pricing, advertising and promotions) decisions are mostly tactical in nature, without a well organized brand architecture in place, these day-to-day tactical decisions become strategic and long- winded in nature. 7
  • 8. What are main advantages of developing a brand architecture? 1. It helps everyone in the organization see and understand all the connections between corporate brands, sub-brands and master brands. 8
  • 9. What are main advantages of developing a brand architecture? 2. It makes decision making easier when it comes to allocating and sharing marketing resources such as advertising and promotions. 9
  • 10. What are main advantages of developing a brand architecture? 3.Protect brands by being over- leveraged and being diluted by over- stretching communications messaging and graphic design options. 10
  • 11. P&G’s brand architecture effectively manage the relationships between product, brands and market segments. Head and Shoulders dominates the dandruff control shampoo category and Pert Plus targets the market for combined shampoo and conditioner. Pantene is positioned as a brand with a technological heritage and the benefit of hair vitality. These brands basically optimizes their brand coverage instead all products under a P&G brands. 11
  • 12. House of Branded Brand Separation Spectrum Brands House 12
  • 13. The biggest mistake for any brand portfolio is not having a brand architecture. One can allow each brand to be managed in isolation simply because what is right for an individual brand may be wrong for the portfolio. 13
  • 14. It is very difficult to generalize what and how to put a vast number of brands in categories and wed sets of them and their relationships into a composite brand architecture. Each industry and category context is very different. The tendency is towards having a “master brand” and only when there is a compelling need for a separate brand is one considered since there is a lot of money involved in the building of a new brand. 14
  • 15. Four steps to optimize your brand architecture? 1. Start by looking at different ways to look at segmentation and map your brand portfolio to those segmentations. 15
  • 16. Four steps to optimize your brand architecture? 2. Examine segments with the most profitability and/or growth potential, then identify where your leadership brands can provide the best leverage. 16
  • 17. Four steps to optimize your brand architecture? 3. Synthesize those information and perform analysis to see if there are sufficient growth opportunities in those leadership brands to make up for the revenue-losing brands. 17
  • 18. Four steps to optimize your brand architecture? 4. Explore opportunities to reduce those underperforming brands by extending those leadership brands or opportunities for new brands for any underserved segments. 18
  • 19. How often people want to create another new brand? So the big question is can the business support a new brand?
