Brand architecture is the structure of brands within an organizational entity. An established Brand Architecture is an important guide for brand extensions, sub-brands and development of new products. Brand Architecture helps a marketer see how to keep parts of a brand separate when needed, and also how to allow them to work together to boost one another in the marketplace. Although the true magic of using Brand Architecture itself is to establish the identity of your brand and how your company relates to your customers. Brand architecture shows us how the sub-brands of a larger whole are organized, and how they all relate to each other. ---- Learn More from Our Website: https://liasidik.com Be sure to follow us: https://www.instagram.com/liasidik https://www.facebook.com/liasidik.branding https://twitter.com/liasidik Or contact our team via WhatsApp +62 89 659 108 869 If you have any additional questions, please leave a comment.

Brand Architecture refers to the corporate relationship between the
parent and all child subdivisions, including its products and services.
Architectural Brand Models help to define and communicate the
relationship between an organisations Primary Brand and that of its
Sub-Brands. In order for a company to appropriately map their brands
and subcategory brands, they need to choose the most suitable
Architectural Brand Model.

detached from each of its
sub-brands. While each sub-brand
uses their own strategy
HYBRID (Sub Brand & Endorsed)
The primary brand is typically
linked with its sub-brands, while
each sub-brand may host different
facilities, they are all endorsed and
or linked to the primary

11. Creating a shared sense of purpose for a
sustainable urbanisation player.
Ascendas-Singbridge is a
Temasek-linked company, forged from
the merger of two major macro real
estate developers, Ascendas and
Singbridge, each have strong footprints
in India and China respectively. With a
vision of catalysing economic
transformation and enriching lives
through sustainable urban
development, the challenge facing the
newly merged entity was to unify
employees around a shared sense of
purpose and lay the foundations for a
brand-focused culture.
