Open the umbrella brand strategy



Open the umbrella brand strategy
   

When attempting to unite a series of brands within a single message, an “umbrella brand” strategy is one way to get your consumer, audience, or constituency to make you their first choice.

An umbrella brand is a high altitude articulation of difference and benefits with several sub-conversations captured beneath. It unites a series of sub-brands with one voice, leaving room for each sub-brand to engage in sub-conversations relevant to more precisely targeted markets, through use of different products and promotional means.

As with all effective brand strategy, umbrella brands require a single message, an expression of a commonsense benefit grounded in human emotion that opens the way to own the conversation within a business category.

Umbrella brands abound in business; examples include Virgin, Kellogg’s, Sony, and location brands such as Japan, Manitoba, and St. Louis.

Umbrella brand strategy can assist nonprofit organizations seeking to unite diverse local chapter needs with a national headquarters operation, by allowing room for chapters to share a national brand promise while demonstrating brand relevancy to their own local markets.

Picture your nonprofit organization communicating a clear, emotionally-engaging message. You could own the conversation and increase your resource base. Ask us how we can help you turn this vision into reality.
