Brand Building
One must understand the brands before building them.
The Client Change Rationale
As a consequence of many previous mergers and acquisitions the CEO understands the company must go through comprehensive brand assessment to build the brand values accurately and systematically over time. It has been recognized that several current brands are direct competitors generating sales cannibalization affects. The CEO wants to understand what each brand product stands for, enabling the company to build each brand product correctly, through brand innovation, which must be within the strict framework of what the brand promise stands for. The focus must be put on the core brands and if it is necessary then the brands occurring sales cannibalization affects must be delisted or the brand priority downgraded.
Content Vision
If the brands perceived values are not constantly kept vigorous, through brand innovations that add new value features to the offer, giving people more reasons to buy, the competitor will do it for you and your brands will grow weaker.
Brands are different in their structural design and in all aspects of capturing, creating and fulfilling needs. Therefore, the approach of how to build them also differentiates. To understand brand values is complex and requires systematic approach to demonstrate accurately what the “brand promise” stands for. If the brands are not continually developed in association with what the “brand promise” stands for, the consumers/end users will be confused and they will then simply stop buying the brand. Therefore, it is crucial to over and over again, exceed consumer expectations by continually build the brands through persistent brand innovations and aligned with the “brand promise” statement.
Our Work

This can best be accomplished by constructing first the brand portfolio dynamics by mapping the brand architecture, for the company as a whole. And moreover, one must declare what each brand stands for within the entire brand architecture. In general, the brand architecture must be exposed before the strategic marketing plan is developed. Then when the brand architecture and declaration of what the brands stand for, the marketing strategy; consumer insight, brand innovation and the market activation scheme can be developed.
