The Art of Cannibalism

When you are at the top, you have to have the


courage to say, I have to stop investing in this
great product and generate a new product that
will kill it. If you dont, some competitor will do
it for you.

When Does an Extension Make Sense?


Strong Brand associations provide:
A point of differentiation
An advantage for the extension
The extension helps the core brand by:
Reinforcing the key associations
Avoiding negative associations
Providing name recognition
The category will not support the resources
needed to establish a new name
A new name will not provide a useful set of
associations or a platform for future growth

Ries, Al. & Trout, Jack. The 22 Immutable Laws of Branding. 1993.

The Extension Decision


Good:

If the brands association, perceived


quality and awareness/presence help the
extension

More Good: If the extension reinforces the


associations and awareness of the brand
Bad:

If the name does not add value to the


extension of even has negative
associations

Ugly:

If the core brand name is damaged or


diluted by the extension, or the brand
franchise is cannibalized

More Ugly: If the opportunity to develop another


brand name is forgone. Aaker, David A. Building Strong Brands. 1996

Brand Extension Types


Line Extension: A parent brand is used to brand
a new product that targets a new market segment
within a product category currently served by the
parent brand. Most new products are line extension

Category Extension:

A parent brand is used

to enter a different product category from that


currently served by the parent brand.
Keller, Kevin Lane. Strategic Brand Management: Building,
Measuring, and Managing Brand Equity. 1998.

Horizontal Extension

FIT

Customers must
be comfortable
with the brand in
the new setting.
Bases: product
associates,
ingredient,
attribute,
application, user
imagery, expertise,
designer image.

ADDED
VALUE

The brand name


alone should help
customers
articulate why the
offering is
superior to other
brands.

ENHANCED
BRAND
EQUITY
The brand equity
should be
enhanced by the
brands presence
the brands
presence in
another context -not only from
increased visibility
but also from the
associations
generated.
Aaker, David A. Brand Leadership. 2000

Vertical Extension
ADVANTAGES
Product vitality & margins

DISADVANTAGES
A vertical stretch is
particularly tricky because
perceived quality is involved
and also because the use
of sub-brands & endorsed
brands needs to be
considered.
Risk to brands reputation &
customer base
Cannibalization

To participate in a large
& growing value
market

Lack of credibility
Competitor price wars

22 Immutable Laws of Branding

Expansion: The power of a brand is inversely proportional to its scope.


Contraction: A brand becomes stronger when you narrow its focus.
Publicity: The birth of a brand is achieved with publicity, not advertising.
Advertising: Once born, a brand needs advertising to stay healthy.
Word: A brand should strive to own a word in the mind of the consumer.
Credentials: The crucial ingredient in the success of any brand is its claim to authenticity (ex. Coke is it!)
Quality: Quality is important, but brands are not built by quality alone. (ex. Is Rolex really better than Timex?)
Category: A leading brand should promote the category, not the brand.
Name: In the long run, a brand is nothing more than a name. (Ex. Xerox, Kleenex, etc.)
Extensions: The easiest way to destroy a brand is to put its name on everything. (Ex. Miller beer)
Fellowship: In order to build the category, a brand should welcome other brands. (Competition draws attention)
Generic: One of the fastest routes to failure is giving a brand a generic name.
Company: Brands are brands. Companies are companies. There is a difference.
Subbrands: What branding builds, subbranding can destroy. (Line extensions can kill the value of a brand.)
Siblings: There is a time and a place to launch a second brand. (Ex. Honda introduced Acura, not Honda Ultra)
Shape: A brands logotype should be designed to fit the eyes. Both eyes. (Ex. Arbys logo is too tall, less effect.)
Color: A brand should use a color that is the opposite of its major competitors. (Ex. Car rental logos)
Borders: There are no barriers to global branding. A brand should know no borders.
Consistency: A brand is not built overnight. Success is measured in decades, not years.
Change: Brands can be changed, but only infrequently and only very carefully.
Mortality: No brand will live forever. Euthanasia is often the best solution.
Singularity: The most important aspect of a brand is its single-mindedness. (Ex. What is a Chevrolet?!?)
