– Which brand elements can be applied to which products and the nature of new and existing brand elements to be applied to new products

Brand Hierarchy Levels
Corporate Brand
Family Brand
Individual Brand
Individual Item or Model (Modifier)

3
Brand Hierarchy Decisions• In creating the hierarchy, it is
important to decide:– The number of levels of the hierarchy to
use in general– How brand elements from different levels
of the hierarchy are combined, if at all, for any one particular product
– How any one brand element is linked, if at all, to multiple products
– Desired brand awareness and image at each level
4
Designing the Brand Hierarchy
– Decide on the number of levels•Principle of simplicity: Employ as few levels
as possible•Principle of clarity: Logic and relationship of
all brand elements employed must be obvious and transparent.
– Decide on the levels of awareness and types of associations to be created at each level•Principle of relevance: Create global
associations that are relevant across as many individual items as possible
•Principle of differentiation: Differentiate individual items and brands
5
Designing the Brand Hierarchy
– Decide on how to link brands from different levels for a product•Principle of prominence: The relative
prominence of brand elements affects perceptions of product distance and the type of image created for new products
– Decide on how to link a brand across products•Principle of commonality: The more
common elements shared by products, the stronger the linkages

• Multiple brands are often employed in a category for market coverage
– Target different market segments
• Basic principle of brand portfolios…– Maximize coverage– Minimize overlap
• Basic economics guideline ...– A portfolio is too big if profits can be increased
by dropping brands. – A portfolio is not big enough if profits can be
increased by adding brands
