Branding: the true reason for creating Alphabet by Google

On Monday, Google announced its biggest move as a company after 11 years: All its services are transferred to a new operator called Alphabet (www.abc.yz).

Upgrading the company to separate entities under Alphabet allows for "greater scale of management as we can run things independently that are not very relevant," the statement said.

Page and Sergey Brin will be at Alphabet as CEO and Chairman respectively and named Google's rising star Pichai σαν Διευθύνων Σύμβουλος της μηχανής . Of course, each company will have a CEO, and Page and Brin will oversee, support, and innovate across all portfolio companies.

But beyond the best management and focus, there is another explanation for this move: the

The 12th rule of που περιγράφονται από το Al Reis και τον Jack Trout στον κλασικό οδηγός της εμπορίας, και στους 22 αμετάβλητους νόμους του marketing, είναι "Ο νόμος της γραμμής επέκτασης."

Reis and Trout advise companies to resist the pressure to expand their share capital.

Do not spread too thin and not try to be everything for everyone.

This also applies to product lines: Extending the product line to unproven areas is dangerous. While most companies believe that the strength of a Brand will help sell new products, often the new product is bad in the old. Brand is also tarnished in this way.

Google is not an ordinary company.

What is the Google Brand? Google's mission is "to organize the world's information to make it accessible and useful."

And the second rule of the company is "We better do one thing really, really well."

Η Google εξηγεί: «Κάνουμε αναζήτηση. Με μία από τις μεγαλύτερες ερευνητικές ομάδες παγκοσμίως που εστιάζεται αποκλειστικά στην επίλυση προβλημάτων αναζήτησης, γνωρίζουμε τι κάνουμε καλά και πώς μπορούμε να το κάνουμε καλύτερα."

But how does it explain non-search services like Gmail and Google Maps? Google connects these products with the search:

"Η αφοσίωση μας στη βελτίωση της αναζήτησης μας βοηθά να εφαρμόσουμε ό, τι έχουμε μάθει σε νέα προϊόντα, όπως το Gmail και το Google Maps. Η ελπίδα μας είναι να φέρουμε την ισχύ της αναζήτησης σε ανεξερεύνητες περιοχές, και να βοηθήσουμε τους ανθρώπους να έχουν μεγαλύτερη πρόσβαση και να χρησιμοποιούν ακόμη περισσότερο τη συνεχώς διευρυνόμενη πληροφορία στη ζωή τους."

OK, it seems that Google has managed to link these related products. Searching affects how you find an address on the map, and the new Google Photos certainly has its place under this Branding.

Αλλά πώς μπορεί κανείς να εξηγήσει την Calico, μια εταιρεία της Google "για την υγεία, ευεξία και μακροζωία"; Ή ένας φακό επαφής ανίχνευσης γλυκόζης; Απλά δεν μπορεί. Η Google έχει επεκταθεί περισσότερο πολύ πέρα ​​από την υπόσχεση του αρχικού Brand name.

So Google had basically two options:

1. Να αναπτύξει το brand name της από "την οργάνωση των πληροφοριών του κόσμου" σε κάτι αρκετά πιο ευρύ ώστε να περιλαμβάνει το σύνολο των by Brin and Page.
2. Keeping Google focused on its true brand name and leaving what it does not fit.

After all, how can unmanned cars connect to Gmail? Somewhere here comes Alphabet.

That is why Page and Brin had to create a new holding company, Alphabet, with a new brand.

They had to make sure that this brand is broad enough and reflects their vision to make the world better through bold innovation projects.
