Co-branding, also called brand partnership, is when two companies form an alliance to work together, creating marketing synergy. As described in Co-Branding: The Science of Alliance:

“ "the term 'co-branding' is relatively new to the business vocabulary and is used to encompass a wide range of marketing activity involving the use of two (and sometimes more) brands. Thus co-branding could be considered to include sponsorships, where Marlboro lends it name to Ferrari or accountants Ernst and Young support the Monet exhibition." ”

Co-branding is an arrangement that associates a single product or service with more than one brand name, or otherwise associates a product with someone other than the principal producer. The typical co-branding agreement involves two or more companies acting in cooperation to associate any of various logos, color schemes, or brand identifiers to a specific product that is contractually designated for this purpose. The object for this is to combine the strength of two brands, in order to increase the premium consumers are willing to pay, make the product or service more resistant to copying by private label manufacturers, or to combine the different perceived properties associated with these brands with a single product.

Intent

According to Chang, from the Journal of American Academy of Business, Cambridge, states there are three levels of co-branding: market share, brand extension, and global branding.

Level 1 includes joining with another company to penetrate the market

Level 2 is working to extend the brand based on the company's current market share

Level 3 tries to achieve a global strategy by combining the two brands

A. Co-branding simply put is a relationship between parties where one or both parties ("brand") or in some way promote the other party on its website. Here is an example in action: LA Times (one brand) and CareerBuilder.com's classified ads (another brand) on this page and they signed a cobranding agreement whereby LA Times will use CareerBuilder.com's classified ads while CareerBuilder will use LA Times to gain more exposure for their brand. Notice that the logo of CareerBuilder is prominently displayed on the page (a usual clause in cobranding agreements) Cobranding arrangements entail contracts signed spelling out cobranding arrangements. One of the main differences between cobranding arrangements and affiliate partner arrangement is… [cont.]

Help with Yahoo and Yahoo ATT?
Q. I haven't been able to fix my problem, although I've tried to follow instructions found several places. I had an ATT home page, and a Yahoo home page. Now ATT is using a co-branded Yahoo web page. What I want to be able to do is have my Yahoo bookmarks show up when I sign in to my ATT home page. I use Mozilla as my browser. All my important bookmarks are available when I'm signed in under my original Yahoo id. What I want to be able to do is stay signed in under my ATT-Yahoo id, but I want those bookmarks on the home page like they are when I'm logged in as my Yahoo id.
