Single Brand Strategy

Combined Exclusivity with AccessibilityProvide Quality, Sophistication & style – Timeless values with global appeal

The founders' dilemma – Empire is built on a strong and charismatic founder and leader

company seems not to have made any plans for life after Giorgio Armani“not for the today, not for tomorrow but perhaps for after tomorrow”

Brand dilution due to over-stretch - Strong brands provide companies a very powerful tool to enter newer markets

extended its strong brand equity a bit too farBy franchising their brand names to literally everything, these brands losses exclusivity

Managing brand architecture - maintaining consistency across all of its marketing communications and other activities

Treading on a double-edged swordStrength is core business

Maintaining financial independence – solo shareholder of the company from its inception thus voiding day-to-day financial pressures

Consolidation happen anytime

Sustaining consistent brand personality - building a relevant and resonant personality
