Agenda • Brand hierarchies • Sub-branding
Brand Hierarchies • Creates a tree structure of brands in consumer’s mind Duke Fuqua Law MBA PhD Weekend Daytime
Brand Hierarchies • There are positive and negative associations at each level (avoid or fix the negative levels) • Corporate (Duke) • Family (Fuqua) • Individual (MBA) • Modifier (Daytime) • J&J is corporate, P&G is not. Thus, benefits tend to be abstract (safety) and transfer across individual brands.
Sub-branding • Combining levels is sub-branding • The higher level brand should be the one that communicates the most abstract associations • The sub-brand should be the one that communicates the most specific associations • Ralph Lauren Purple Label line • http://www.polo.com/shop/index.jsp?categoryId=1795706&nav=lhn • Teradata, A Division of NCR
