Presentation Developed as course material for the SLIM Diploma in
Brand Management
Brand Architecture
• Brand Strategy or Brand Architecture for a firm tells
marketers which brand name, logos, symbols and so
forth to apply to new and existing products
• We often distinguish branding strategies by whether a
firm is or should be employing an umbrella corporate or
family brand for all its products (As a branded house) or a
collection of individual brands all with different names
(House of brands)
Brand Architecture
• Defines both the brand boundaries and brand
complexity.
• Which different products should share the same brand
name?
• How many variations of that brand name should we
employ?
• The role of defining branding strategies and brand
architecture is two fold
1. Clarify – Brand Awareness: Improve the customers
understanding and communicate the similarities and
differences between individual products
2. Motivate – Brand Image: Maximize transfer of equity to/from
the brand to individual products to improve trial and repeat
purchase
The Brand – Product Matrix
• The matrix has the brands of the firm as rows and the
corresponding products as columns
• The rows of the matrix represent the brand-product
relationships and capture the brand extension strategies of
the firm in terms of number and nature of the products sold
under the firms different brands
• Brand Line: consists of all the products – original as well as
line and category extensions sold under a particular brand.
One row of the matrix
• Product-Brand relationship : Columns of the matrix that
capture the brand portfolio strategy in terms of the number
and nature of brands to be marketed in each category
• Brand Portfolio is the set of all brands and brand lines that a
particular firm offers for sale in a particular category. Thus a
brand portfolio is one column of the matrix.
The Brand – Product Matrix
• A product line is a group of products within a product
category that are closely related because they function in a
similar manner, are sold to the same customer groups, are
marketed through the same type of outlets, or fall within
given price ranges
• A product line may include different brands, or a single family
brand or individual brand that has been line extended.
• A product mix is a set of all product lines and items that a
particular seller makes available to buyers. Thus product lines
represent different sets of columns in the brand – product
matrix that in total make up the product mix
• A brand mix is the set of brand lines that a particular seller
makes available to buyers
Breath of Branding Strategy
• The breath of a branding strategy describes the number and
nature of different products linked to the brands sold by the
firm.
• Breath of the product mix: Category attractive matrix
Breath of Branding Strategy
Aggregate Market Factors Category Factors Environmental Factors
Market size Threat of new entrants Technological
Market growth Bargaining power of buyers Political
Stage in product life cycle Bargaining power of suppliers Economic
Sales Cyclicity Current category rivalry Regulatory
Seasonality Pressure from Substitutes Social
Profits Category capacity
Breath of Branding Strategy
• Depth of the product mix: once marketers have made their
decision concerning appropriate product categories and
markets in which to compete, they need to choose the
optimal product line strategy.
• Product line analysis required a clear understanding of the
market and the cost interdependencies between products.
• This requires examining the percentage of sales and profits
contributed by each item in the product line and its ability to
withstand competition and address customer needs.
• The line is too short if the manager can increase long term
profits by adding items
• The line is too long if the manager can increase profits by
dropping items
Depth of Branding Strategy
• This is the number and nature of different brands
marketed in the product class sold by a firm.
• Why does a firm have multiple brands in the same
product category?
• Market coverage
• Pursue different price segments, different channels of
distribution, different geographic boundaries etc.
• To create internal competition within the firm
• To attract consumers seeking variety who may switch
• To yield economies of scale in terms of merchandising, sales,
advertising
• Poorly differentiated brands can also result in
cannibalization
• Brands portfolio should cover all major market segments
however minimize brand overlay
Flankers or Fighters
• These are protective flankers, protective brands with lesser profit
margins
• These brands build strong points of parity with competing brands
so that stronger brands can sustain their positioning
• Many firms are introducing discount brands as flankers to better
compete with store brands or private labels and protect the high
priced brand companions.
• Some firms are repositioning existing brands in their portfolio to
play that role
• Fighter brands must not be so attractive that they take the sales
away from their higher priced comparison brands
• At the same time if fighter brands are connected to other brands
in the portfolio in ANY way, they must not be designed so cheaply
that they reflect poorly on these other brands
Cash Cows
• Sales may be decreasing however still have a
considerable share
• Market is not growing, new products/brands are
cannibalizing
• i.e. Gillette still sells its older Trac 2, Atra and Sensor
brands because withdrawing these brands may not result
in consumers upgrading and also these brands still have a
considerable sales volume to support the brand
Low-End, Entry –Level or High-End
Prestige Brands
• Low-End/Entry Level brands are generally traffic builders
• They are not meant to be significantly profitable
• These brands reel in potential customers into the brand
franchise
• These brands are the stepping stone to attract customers
• High end brands ensures maximum CLV by giving the
option for customers to upgrade
Corporate or company
brand level:
This is the consumers association to the company
• The only sustainable competitive advantage any business has
is its reputation
• A large global survey of financial analysts indicated that 91%
of the sample agreed that a company that fails to look after its
reputation will endure financial difficulties
• 96% of the same analysts responded that the CEO;s reputation
was fairly, very or extremely important in influencing their
ratings
• Annual Quotient (RQ) survey of 20,000 Americans concluded
that a strong statically correlation between a firms reputation
and consumers intention to buy a product and service,
recommend them to other people, buy a company’s stock or
recommend to other investors
Corporate or company
brand level:
• Interbrand found that a strong corporate brand could improve
a company’s stock price from 5% to 7% in a bull market and
mitigate losses in a bear market
• A survey of VEO’s conducted by PR week magazine found that
almost 75% of the VEO respondents stated they were worried
about threats to their organization’s corporate reputation
• In justifying their marketing investments, executives at
ACCENTURE maintain that a strong corporate image can also
be an effective means to attract and motivate employees
Corporate Brand Equity
• Is the differential response by consumers, customers,
employees, other firms or any relevant constituency to the
words, actions, communications, products or services
provided by an identified corporate brand entity.
• A corporate brand is distinct from a product brand in that it
can encompass a much wider range of associations
• i.e. corporate brand name may be more likely to evoke
associations of common products and their shared attributes
or benefit; people and relationships; programs and values and
corporate credibility.
• These associations can have an important effect on the brand
equity and market performance of individual products
Does the Corporate Brand Add
Value?
Family Brand Level
• Range brands or Umbrella brands
• These are brands applied across a range of products
• Company level associations are less salient
• The cost of launching new products can be reduced through
family branding
• The failure of one product may have adverse effects on the
family brand
• The pro’s and con’s will determine whether a “Branded house”
or a “House of brands” is the more appropriate strategy
Individual Brand Level
• Brand that is restricted to one product category
• Can customize marketing activities and the brand to focus on a
consumer group
• If the brand runs into difficulty i.e. due to sales or due to
market maturity, the corporate brand and other brands will
not suffer
• Building individual brands are difficult, complex and expensive
Modifier Level
• Modifiers can signal refinements or differences in brands
related to factors such as quality levels
• Modifies help communicate how different products within a
category that share the same brand name differs on one or
more significant attributes or other in the same brand family
• Modifiers help make products more understandable and
relevant to consumers or event the trade
Using Cause Marketing to Build
Brand Equity
• “Cause Related Marketing” or “Cause Marketing” is “the
process of formulating and implementing marketing activities
that are characterized by an offer from the firm to contribute
a specified amount to a designated cause when customers
engage in revenue providing exchanges that satisfy
organizational and individual objectives.”
Advantages of Cause Marketing
• Building brand awareness
• Enhancing brand image
• Establishing brand credibility
• Evoking brand feelings
• Creating a sense of brand community
• Eliciting brand engagement
Designing Cause Marketing
Programs
• CSM is not only done through advertising
• Product development can also be done, i.e. develop a product
purely associated with a cause, a % of sales go out to support
this cause.
• Some brands position themselves around causes i.e. Women’s
Aid has been working with The Body Shop since 2004, as part
of their long-running ‘Stop Violence in the Home’ campaign.
The campaign aims to raise funds to develop projects that
tackle the problem of domestic violence and raise awareness
of the issue amongst their customers.
Green Marketing
• 83% of American consumers said they prefer to buy
environmentally friendly products
• 23% of consumers now claim to make purchases based on
environmental considerations
• Poor implementation can damage the brand

Flankers or Fighters • These are protective flankers, protective brands with lesser profit margins • These brands build strong points of parity with competing brands so that stronger brands can sustain their positioning • Many firms are introducing discount brands as flankers to better compete with store brands or private labels and protect the high priced brand companions. • Some firms are repositioning existing brands in their portfolio to play that role • Fighter brands must not be so attractive that they take the sales away from their higher priced comparison brands • At the same time if fighter brands are connected to other brands in the portfolio in ANY way, they must not be designed so cheaply that they reflect poorly on these other brands
  • 11. Cash Cows • Sales may be decreasing however still have a considerable share • Market is not growing, new products/brands are cannibalizing • i.e. Gillette still sells its older Trac 2, Atra and Sensor brands because withdrawing these brands may not result in consumers upgrading and also these brands still have a considerable sales volume to support the brand
  • 12. Low-End, Entry –Level or High-End Prestige Brands • Low-End/Entry Level brands are generally traffic builders • They are not meant to be significantly profitable • These brands reel in potential customers into the brand franchise • These brands are the stepping stone to attract customers • High end brands ensures maximum CLV by giving the option for customers to upgrade
  • 13. Corporate or company brand level: This is the consumers association to the company • The only sustainable competitive advantage any business has is its reputation • A large global survey of financial analysts indicated that 91% of the sample agreed that a company that fails to look after its reputation will endure financial difficulties • 96% of the same analysts responded that the CEO;s reputation was fairly, very or extremely important in influencing their ratings • Annual Quotient (RQ) survey of 20,000 Americans concluded that a strong statically correlation between a firms reputation and consumers intention to buy a product and service, recommend them to other people, buy a company’s stock or recommend to other investors
  • 14. Corporate or company brand level: • Interbrand found that a strong corporate brand could improve a company’s stock price from 5% to 7% in a bull market and mitigate losses in a bear market • A survey of VEO’s conducted by PR week magazine found that almost 75% of the VEO respondents stated they were worried about threats to their organization’s corporate reputation • In justifying their marketing investments, executives at ACCENTURE maintain that a strong corporate image can also be an effective means to attract and motivate employees
  • 15. Corporate Brand Equity • Is the differential response by consumers, customers, employees, other firms or any relevant constituency to the words, actions, communications, products or services provided by an identified corporate brand entity. • A corporate brand is distinct from a product brand in that it can encompass a much wider range of associations • i.e. corporate brand name may be more likely to evoke associations of common products and their shared attributes or benefit; people and relationships; programs and values and corporate credibility. • These associations can have an important effect on the brand equity and market performance of individual products
  • 16. Does the Corporate Brand Add Value?
  • 17. Family Brand Level • Range brands or Umbrella brands • These are brands applied across a range of products • Company level associations are less salient • The cost of launching new products can be reduced through family branding • The failure of one product may have adverse effects on the family brand • The pro’s and con’s will determine whether a “Branded house” or a “House of brands” is the more appropriate strategy
  • 18. Individual Brand Level • Brand that is restricted to one product category • Can customize marketing activities and the brand to focus on a consumer group • If the brand runs into difficulty i.e. due to sales or due to market maturity, the corporate brand and other brands will not suffer • Building individual brands are difficult, complex and expensive
  • 19. Modifier Level • Modifiers can signal refinements or differences in brands related to factors such as quality levels • Modifies help communicate how different products within a category that share the same brand name differs on one or more significant attributes or other in the same brand family • Modifiers help make products more understandable and relevant to consumers or event the trade
  • 20. Using Cause Marketing to Build Brand Equity • “Cause Related Marketing” or “Cause Marketing” is “the process of formulating and implementing marketing activities that are characterized by an offer from the firm to contribute a specified amount to a designated cause when customers engage in revenue providing exchanges that satisfy organizational and individual objectives.”
  • 21. Advantages of Cause Marketing • Building brand awareness • Enhancing brand image • Establishing brand credibility • Evoking brand feelings • Creating a sense of brand community • Eliciting brand engagement
  • 22. Designing Cause Marketing Programs • CSM is not only done through advertising • Product development can also be done, i.e. develop a product purely associated with a cause, a % of sales go out to support this cause. • Some brands position themselves around causes i.e. Women’s Aid has been working with The Body Shop since 2004, as part of their long-running ‘Stop Violence in the Home’ campaign. The campaign aims to raise funds to develop projects that tackle the problem of domestic violence and raise awareness of the issue amongst their customers.
