• Perform a light competitive and category landscape audit.

• Develop a strategic brief to guide the brand architecture framework development

• Deliverables: Strategic belief that will guide the brand architecture framework development in the next phase. The strategic brief will include the scalability and adaptability of the framework to future fields

Phase 2: Development

• Leverage established frameworks to develop prototype architecture models, outlining the benefits of each

• Ensure the prototype architecture models include scenarios that explore how the chosen framework could scale

• Facilitate a work session with the core team to present and discuss the merits and detractors of each model, in order to prioritize one of the models presented

Deliverables: Prioritized brand architecture model, include "Future Scalability Considerations" as part of the prioritized brand architecture model, detailing its adaptability to other areas. Provide naming options for credential designations
