BRAND ARCHITECTURE

While Branding is all about creating a cognitive differentiation through impactful visual representations, Brand Architecture is an integrated process of brand building which aims to establish the relationships between a parent brand and a family of sub-brands. Brand Architecture is desirable to have at the branding or brand identity creation stage itself to allow for scalability or brand-extensions in the future and it is an imperative where there are multiple brands within a portfolio to ensure consistency. Given our adept understanding of the Branding space, at YOUNG we play the role of Brand Architects for our clients and help design a complete Brand Architecture which is in sync with the market as well as the company’s vision and future strategy.

BRAND CREATION

A brand is created in the consumers or stake-holders mind. Given the fact that the playground for a brand is the mind, it is rides heavily on perception. In other words, a successful brand is one that effectively maneuvers the consumers mind and occupies a space within it which aids immediate recall. In today’s clutter-driven and overcrowded marketplace branding assumes critical importance and the brand creation exercise commences at the product/idea conceptual stage itself. Brand creation is a structured 3 step process Identifying the Brand Nucleus – i.e. what it stands for and the business rationale behind it. The Brand Nucleus usually exists as a midpoint between Need Gaps (category/industry), Opportunity (consumer) and Strengths (company/product) Defining the Brand Essence – creating an emotional hook which helps the brand connect with its consumers/stakeholders emphatically Evolving the Brand Personality – layering a visual representation in sync with the Brand’s Nucleus and Essence which gives a unique definition to the brand thus enabling it to occupy a prominent space in consumers’ minds

BRAND REJUVENATION
