Brands creating sub-brands Aug14 '07
I talked yesterday about brands expanding their offerings, and how it's a good thing - not bad.
There is one situation when it is bad, though. It's when brands adjust their brand, or create sub-brands.

In both cases, the brand image becomes blurred or inconsistent.
