Brands are living business assets and, as such, need a strategy that uniquely positions them for long-term success. Focusing purely on message delivery and tactics is a short-term approach which erodes a brand's uniqueness and a sense of purpose. Brand strategy development starts with understanding your consumer's needs and emotions, the competitive environment, the competitive advantage of your brand and the vision for its future.
Salt Strategy can help define your brand's purpose, values, personality and positioning, and the most compelling reason for customer choice: the brand proposition (promise). A clearly articulated, persuasive, and competitive brand strategy brings ailing brands to good health and sets new brands on the path to long-term success.
Mergers and Acquisitions can generate significant efficiencies, increase value, market share, and provide access to new markets and categories. However, when you acquire a company, you also acquire its brand portfolio, which can diminish in value if not integrated well.
What to do with your corporate brand and expanded brand portfolio is not just a strategic decision but also an emotional decision for the people who came with the acquisition.
Salt Strategy's brand audit process can objectively help you decide whether to retain or merge brands and guide your team through a careful planning and disciplined execution process.
Complex and overlapping brand portfolios confuse customers, but most marketers think of brand architecture only during times of change, like mergers, acquisitions, rebranding and product launches. Strategic brand architecture makes your business easier to understand and reminds consumers of the brand family's value proposition; it allows them to form strong relationships with your business.
Brand value by fully leveraging your corporate and sub-brands makes your business easier to manage and improve brand investment decisions.
Salt Strategy can organize your brand portfolio's hierarchy, clarify the relationships, and provide a road map for brand identity development, including future brand additions.
