In my opinion, a brand strategy system is including 5 parts: brand property, brand structure , brand awareness, brand limitation and brand management, which I call it THE PSALM OF BRAND! For Barr, let's just follow these five parts to make a conclusion.

The first chapter of brand psalm---brand property of Barr:

The brand property of Barr is really complicated. We usually describe a brand property from whether it is a manufacturer brand or a dealer brand and whether it is a self-own brand or a franchise brand. Mostly cases, one company is just in one choice of these four. But Barr is a mix one. Barr's brand, including Irn-Bru,Tizer and so on, is a manufacturer brand and it is a self-own brand.

The third chapter of brand psalm--- brand awareness of Barr

It is just the core of brand strategy, and we call it Brand identify system as well.
