What is Brand Architecture? It is the foundational lens through which the consumer views your brand on-shelf. It is the ideal organization of a brand’s varieties and sub-families. Brand Architecture can mean different things. At one level, it explains what the brand stands for as an entity and how the manufacturer wants the consumer to view the brand overall. At another level, brand architecture defines how product sub-lines (boutiques) and versions are structures within the brand. We look at two different architecture elements in the visual equity and the benefit nomenclature. These two elements function synergistically. Visual equity defines how versions differentiate themselves at the SKU layer: color, logo, and overall package design. Benefit nomenclature drives strong architecture organization by communicating what each product offers the consumer.
