What it is and how it works

In brand portfolio management, this role justifies investment and attention even though the brand contributes little in sales or profit today. It is a bet on potential, for instance because it targets a growing segment or a new category.

Outside brand architecture, the term is also used more generally for new brands that are beginning to gain awareness in a market, as in fashion or consumer goods.
