brand-architecture

brand-architecture is a skill for Claude Code from brainbytes-dev/everything-claude-marketing. It costs 26 tokens per session (2,020 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A framework for deciding how multiple products or brands should relate to one another and to a parent company. It helps compare structures such as one shared brand, separate brands, or combinations of both.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when launching a product, integrating an acquisition, expanding into a market, simplifying a brand portfolio, or deciding how much each product should rely on the parent brand.
Why use it?
As organizations add products or acquire companies, customers may no longer understand which offerings belong together. A clear structure reduces confusion and guides naming and marketing decisions.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

brand-architecture scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Brand Architecture

When to Activate

  • A company is launching a new product and needs to decide how it relates to the parent brand
  • An acquisition has added brands to the portfolio and integration decisions are needed
  • The current brand structure has become confusing to customers or internal teams
  • Expanding into a new market where the parent brand may help or hinder
  • Customers are confused about the relationship between products or brands
  • Consolidating or rationalizing a sprawling brand portfolio

First Questions

  1. How many distinct products, services, or brands do you have today?
  2. Do your customers buy across multiple products, or are they siloed?
  3. Does the parent brand add credibility to new offerings, or is it neutral/negative?
  4. How different are the audiences for each product or brand?
  5. What is the long-term portfolio strategy? (More products? Fewer? Acquisitions?)
  6. Do you sell through channels or partners who need to understand the brand structure?
  7. What is the marketing budget reality? (More brands = more cost to build awareness.)

Brand Architecture Models

1. Branded House

One master brand. All products live under it.

Structure: Parent Brand → Parent Product A, Parent Product B, Parent Product C

Examples:

  • Google → Google Maps, Google Drive, Google Photos
  • FedEx → FedEx Express, FedEx Ground, FedEx Freight
  • Virgin → Virgin Atlantic, Virgin Mobile, Virgin Active

When to use:

  • The parent brand is strong and has positive associations across all product categories
  • Products share the same audience or benefit from cross-selling
  • Marketing efficiency is a priority (one brand to build, not many)
  • Products share a common value proposition or experience standard

Advantages:

  • Marketing efficiency — every product builds the master brand
  • Cross-selling is natural — customers trust new offerings
  • Simpler brand management and lower creative costs

Risks:

  • A failure in one product damages the entire brand
  • Products with different audiences or price points can create confusion
  • Innovation can feel constrained by the master brand's identity

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
