Brand Architecture Strategy:

When an organization is made up of a number of smaller brand entities, it utilizes a brand architecture strategy. This system organizes the structure of brands and helps consumers understand the master company as well as each of its extensions.

There are four types of companies that may fall into this category. The first is the branded house. This is used when its subsidiaries have a direct relationship with the master brand. For example, the master brand offers a broad range of services, while the services of each sub-brand are very specific. Each of the entities will be governed by the guidelines of the master brand, most likely, each carry the name of the master brand.

The second relationship is a house of brands. In this sector, the master brand serves as the parent company to a number of different smaller brands. Each sub-brand will have a different name and may even appeal to differing markets. The brands are recognized independently, and the parent company may not be made known to the consumer.

The third relationship is endorsing brands. Each of the sub-brands has independent brand strategies but benefit from the endorsement of the parent company. The sub-brands may appeal to different markets or regions, but use their association with the parent company to increase brand recognition.

The last brand relationship is hybrid brand architecture. This relationship combines strategies from the previous situations and is usually done so out of necessity. Each of the sub-brands operates independently but rely on resources from the master brand.

Each of these relationships requires differing marketing strategies and are determined on a case by case basis. Implementing this hierarchy of brands can be a valuable resource to determine the brand identity and increase brand awareness.

Brand Launch Strategy:

A brand launch is the process of introducing a brand to the public. A successful launch takes into consideration the target audience, competition, brand messaging, and goals.

The target audience is who will be most likely to encounter the brand launch. Depending on the brand, some target audiences are quite broad. For example, a new brand could be targeting people between the ages of 30-40. However, sometimes a brand targets a very specific group. For example, people between the ages of 30-40 who are in the market for a new phone, that will be attending a specific event. Identifying the target audience is crucial in developing a launch strategy that reaches brand goals.

It is crucial for consumers to understand a brand’s position in the market, doing so could be the reason they choose your brand over the competition. A launch strategy should outline the ways other brands in the industry have launched, what was successful about them, and dictate why your brand is a cut above.

Consistent brand messaging ensures a brand is understandable to the target audience. This is both the visual and language aspects of the brand’s identity.

Lastly, it is important to set measurable goals. Whether a launch is to drive shares on social media or purchases in a store, setting metrics provides information on what was successful and areas that need to be improved.

Brand Positioning Strategy:

Positioning is the corner of the market a brand occupies. A brand positioning strategy is the tools used to communicate this to the target audience. Some of the ways brand positioning is developed are through naming, the visual identity, and analysis of the competition.

The most important aspect of brand positioning is the target audience. Naming and visual identity cannot be determined without first understanding who the target audience is. In markets where there are many different options, brand positioning also helps to understand why a brand is better than the competition.

Take a look at the wine aisle of your local grocery store. The bottles that sell have developed a brand strategy to make sure that the target market picks up their bottle. The brand experience for a top-shelf bottle of wine is going to be entirely different than a reasonably priced bottle. The top-shelf bottle may appeal more to an older audience with a sophisticated french name and soft color palette. While the bottom shelf wine will have a catchier name and might have bolder graphics. Someone who might not know a lot about wine will be more likely to reach for it on a shelf of many options.

The tools available to design are visual communication & graphic (logos, artwork, typography, & color), user experience (how you navigate a product or experience), environmental design (the look and feel of the space around you), and material (substrates & more).

You can think of design as a cultivated experience for the five senses. In that way, a restaurant is one of our cultures’ great expressions of design, marrying touch, taste, visual, environmental, material, and more.

Design helps its creators and consumers think differently. It opens up clearer paths of communication. It reduces waste & improves productivity. Good design makes you feel better by way of simplicity, understanding, and beauty.

There are many different specialties within the field and can range from micro-details to environmental experiences. Some such fields are: fashion design, interior design, UX/UI design, photography, graphic design, product design, web design, material design, the list goes on. Each of these sub-specialties can support the creation of a new brand.

Metadata web indexing involves assigning keywords or phrases to web pages or web sites within a metadata tag field, so that the web page or web site can be retrieved with a search engine that is customized to search the keywords field.

Mobile
Google Chrome 83+

Why does my website look different on different browsers?
How the browser interprets the page, your OS (operating system), and your display resolution could all affect how websites’s look on the browsers you are using. For more information, click here.

Why you shouldn’t be using Internet Explorer:
CVE-2019-1367 | Scripting Engine Memory Corruption Vulnerability
Internet Explorer Incompatible With Everything
Internet Explorer Virus Can Take Over Your Entire PC

Microsoft has discovered a new IE vulnerability that can take over your entire PC, which is a big reason for not using it as your recommended browsers.

According to the statement from Microsoft:
“A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the scripting engine handles objects in memory in Internet Explorer. The vulnerability could corrupt memory in such a way that an attacker could execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could take control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a specially crafted website that is designed to exploit the vulnerability through IE and then convince a user to view the website, for example, by sending an email. The security update addresses the vulnerability by modifying how the scripting engine handles objects in memory.“

SEO (Search Engine Optimization):

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of increasing the quality and quantity of website traffic by increasing the visibility of a website or a web page to users of a web search engine using organic (unpaid) searches.

Optimizing a website may involve editing its content, adding content, modifying HTML, and associated coding to both increase its relevance to specific keywords and to remove barriers to the indexing activities of search engines

As an Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search engines work, the computer programmed algorithms which dictate search engine behavior, what people search for, the actual search terms or keywords typed into search engines, and which search engines are preferred by their targeted audience. SEO is performed because a website will receive more visitors from a search engine the higher the website ranks in the search engine results page (SERP). These visitors can then be converted into customers.[4]

SEO differs from local search engine optimization in that the latter is focused on optimizing a business’ online presence so that its web pages will be displayed by search engines when a user enters a local search for its products or services. The former instead is more focused on national or international searches.
