Branding

Beverage branding is the marketing strategy of giving a unique brand name to each drink in a portfolio and contrasts with family branding, corporate branding or umbrella branding wherein products fall under a single overarching brand name. The advantage of beverage branding is that each product has a unique image and identity. This fact enables companies to give a custom fit to the positioning of each product, highlighting their own products and differentiating them from those of other sellers.
