Brands essentially deal with different kinds of benefits. An identity that is based on intangible associations or brand personalities provides the brand with more strategic scope and gives you more liberty to extend the brand.

The result can be a loss of differentiation, or worse an inferior position on an attribute that is associated with the brand.
