Why Brands

Strong brands lower risk, provide higher margins, and can sustain growth.

Brand-Driven Growth

Building strong brands is essential to our investment strategy. We believe strengthening brands is critical for long-term health and returns. Growing brands, a strategy we have helped to advance, indicate a committed customer base. Their engagement and willingness to try other products and services produces lower risk, and improves margins.

Strong brands create customers who:

  • are more loyal
  • will pay a higher price premium
  • are willing to personally endorse / advocate
  • provide future growth opportunities
