Brand hierarchy refers to displaying a brand strategy through the common and distinctive elements across a firm's products, revealing the ordering of brand elements. It can involve corporate, family, and individual branding strategies. Corporate branding uses a company name for products, while family branding markets different products under one name. Individual branding gives each product a unique name. Modifiers like words or phrases can further distinguish brands according to product types or models.
