Purpose: The purpose of this essay is to discuss and analyze how a company
can use brand extension to revitalize a brand and increase brand
equity.

Methodology: A hermeneutical study that relies on data collected through
qualitative research methodology. The empirical data was gathered
through semi-structured interviews that gave the respondent a
chance to speak freely and the interviewers the option of following
questions. The case study is a ”one-case” study that illustrates the
essays question.

Theoretical perspective: The study of revitalization was mainly based from Melins (1999)
theory and process of building a brand, the critic lifted from Ries
and Trout (1985) and Aakers theory about revitalization.
Empirical foundation: The empirical data is built on the case company GANT. The reader
is presented with a background and presentation of the company
followed by the respondents statements.

Conclusion: The study is concluded with a discussion about the pros and cons
that were discovered about revitalization through brand extension.
Conclusions regarding revitalization are drawn due to the brand
extensions opportunity of transferring brand identity between the
main brand and the extension. The strong disagreement from the
researchers, together with the analysis from the case company,
directs the authors of this essay to the conclusion that it is not
possible to make a general and interprofessional regulation
regarding whether a company should or should not revitalize or
how a brand extension helps or topples a revitalization process (Less)
