EXAMPLE • GILETTE • OLAY • PAMPERS MM6016 Branding and Marketing Communication BRAND RELATIONSHIP SPECTRUM 38 TYPES OF BRAND RELATIONSHIPS • • • • BRANDED HOUSE SUB BRANDS ENDORSED BRANDS HOUSE OF BRANDS BRANDED HOUSE • A single identity that encompasses all products (example: BMW, Microsoft, CNN) • Brand strategy implications: – Advantages: requires fewer resources, minimize misunderstanding, easier alignment – Disadvantages: inability to appeal diverse consumer segments, generic brand campaign which might not be memorable, creativity is hindered, consequence of failure is larger SUB BRANDS • A strong brand at a level under the master brand (i.e. a sub brand). Example: Nike Air Jordan, Lenovo Thinkpad • Brand strategy implications: – Advantages: both brands (master and sub brands) give each other recognition and create new associations that can help the market’s understanding of both brands, helps growing market share and shareholder benefits, greater loyalty from distribution partners – Disadvantages: complexity and expenses are added to marketing communication, may dilute or confuse master brand, complex distribution strategy, create a single point of attack for competitors. ENDORSED BRANDS • Independent brand, which is overtly endorsed by a master brand (example: Polo by Ralph Lauren, Ibis by Accor Group etc) • Brand strategy implications: – Advantages: provide credibility for the endorsed brands, endorsed brand benefits from the master brand’s reputation, can break into competitor’s territory – Disadvantages: can be expensive, too many endorsement may signal weak sub-brands, greater consequences of failure HOUSE OF BRANDS • Multiple strong brands housed in a de-emphasized, weak or unknown corporate entity (example: Procter & Gamble, Kao etc) • Brand strategy implications: – Advantages: each brand can maximize impact on market or niches, individual brand can be specified to fit a target market, increase variations of new revenue streams, more creativity and talents – Disadvantages: little or no leverage can be used with the parent association (remember the Indonesat tagline: “Punya Indosat”), more expensive, creating internal rivalries, hard to unify customer loyalty, confusing image (may not be aligned perfectly) MM6016 Branding and Marketing Communication BRAND PORTFOLIO 44 LITERAL DEFINITION • Keller (2008, p. 434) “the set of all brands and brand lines that a particular firm offers for sale to buyers in a particular category” • Aaker (2004, p. 14) “Brand portfolio is both owned brands and brands linked through alliances, which are considered as a team of brands working together, each with assigned roles to enable and support business strategies” PRACTICAL DEFINITION Brand portfolio is the collection of all brands owned by a particular company, which ranges across categories and products.

ROBIN RITCHIE OF RICHARD IVEY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS IN 2004 81 SAMSUNG HISTORY • From small trading company to an economy powerhouse • Operated in 67 countries with more than 175000 employees worldwide • Surpassed Hyundai to become the leading business group in South Korea “Behind this impressive growth is Samsung’s effort to redefine itself as a vendor of cutting edge consumer technology” (P. 1) “By 2000, the company’s successful launching of innovative product such as mobile phone, PDA, MP3 player, and digital TV had established Samsung as a credible player” (p. 4) SAMSUNG’S BRANDING EFFORT • Samsung saw digital product as a major trend in consumer electronics • The company put a lot of investment in R&D and marketing of digital products since then • In 1999, Samsung ran a global campaign of “SAMSUNG DigitAll – everyone’s invited” to position the company as a producer of innovative and easy to use consumer electronic products • Samsung moved into high profile marketing campaign by sponsoring the 2000 olympic in Sydney • Increasing marketing communication budget by 35% • Featured some mobile phones in two box office movies: The Matrix: Reloaded and The Matrix: Revolution • Samsung Electronic had redirected its focus away from mass merchants to specialty retailers like Best Buy, Circuit City and CompUSA MM6016 Branding and Marketing Communication CASE 2: FRANZ COLLECTION WRITTEN BY PROF. LIEN TI BEI (NATIONAL CHENGCHI UNIVERSITY) AND PROF. SHIH-FEN CHEN (RICHARD IVEY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS) IN 2010 86 FRANZ COLLECTION HISTORY • Franz Collection Inc. (Franz) is a Taiwan based manufacturer which specialized in functional and home décor accessories. • The company was originated from Seagull Décor Co. Ltd which sold crafts, gifts, ornaments, and home décor items. • Seagull was a pure original equipment manufacturing (OEM) company, flourished by capitalizing on the country’s skills in low-cost manufacturing and assembly. • Seagull moved to trading business and became an ODM company (Original Design Manufacturing) • As an ODM, Seagull was known by its design, creativity, cost effective, and efficient designers. • The design skill elevated and Francis Chen, the owner, decided to launch their own brand: FRANZ “Chen was aware that owning a brand was not as simple as putting a logo on the product...Chen also had to consider the resistance from Seagull’s current customers.” (p. 5) “To prevent potential conflict with current clients, Chen set up a separate company, Franz Collection Inc. in both Taiwan and the United States in 2001. The separation helped position Franz as a premium brand in its own right, independent of what Seagull stood for” (p. 6) FRANZ BRANDING EFFORTS • • • • Focus on porcelain (p. 6) Described the brand essence and spirit (p. 9) Set up a logo (p. 10) Set up the principle of design and develop required skills (p. 10) • Set up pricing (p. 5) • Set up marketing channel (p. 8) • Run marketing campaign (p. 9) “OEM or ODM is the kind of business on order-to-build. You make nothing if there is no order. A branded product means that you control your own direction. OBM was not an easy choice. It was an unknown terrain and there were risks. But we went ahead, taking one step at a time.” (p. 13)
