,Einheitskampagnen' werden nicht im beabsichtigten Grad wahrgenommen und mit der beworbenen Marke assoziiert.

Uniform campaigns? Is there a special English advertising term for this sort of campaign which is meant to strengthen brand recognition?

google for instance under "hp and unifying brand campaign" and you'll see mention of an example that notes this expression.

brand awareness campaigns


Explanation:
but not sure what they are trying to say. Perhaps, pushing beer sales while neglecting to mention your own brand Heineken or whatever will not do much for the bottom line

of course, that would be a \'generic product campaign\'

generic campaign


Explanation:
A pure guess, based on the thought that 'Einheitskampagne' may be inspired by 'Einheitswurst'.

'Generic campaign' and 'generic advertising' naturally score lots of google hits, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are the right translation here.

image campaign


Explanation:
"Einheitskampagne" ist ein Überbleibsel aus der Werbesprache der ehemaligen DDR. Heute heißt das "Imagekampagne" - meistens teure Vierfarbanzeigen auf Doppelseite oder TV, die oft ganze Produkt- oder Unternehmensgruppen bewerben, ohne auf ein spezifisches Produkt einzugehen. Zweck solcher Werbung ist visuelle Marktpräsenz, weniger Verbraucherinformation.

broad-based campaign


Explanation:
Difficult to say without more context. The German term is not standard, as impied by the quote marks.

perhaps they mean "consolidation/consolidatory campaign" ?
