[edit] Noun

brand stretch

1. (Advertising) the degree to which an advertiser alters consumer perceptions of a brand without alienating the consumer by creating messages that do not fit with the brand’s image.

   Advertisers always want to stretch their brands by teaching consumers something new but, stretching a brand does not mean redefining its image in a single ad.
