Brand Architecture
Brand architecture is the structure of brands within an organization entity. The architecture should define the different leagues of branding within the organization; how the corporate brand and sub-brands relate to and support each other; and how the sub-brands reflect or reinforce the core purpose of the corporate brand to which they belong.
One of the many reasons that these brands diluted their brand equity was because they used their brand names on a very wide range of products
