A large furniture company in Rio Grande do Sul sought SONNE to help diagnose all of its brands. 

The current architecture of the company followed the hybrid model, regardless of whether it was planned or not, through which some brands take on the group brand in the prefix or suffix and there are still independent brands. This allows the creation or addition of brands without objective criteria that can compromise the image of the group, causing confusion internally and, most importantly, preventing the sum of the profits of the business units from being greater and more sustainable. 

To establish the optimal brand architecture for the group, it is necessary to first define the goals that the company seeks for its future, based on the strategic pillars of the business.
