mark your brand identity effectively


Explanation:
Since branding is an effort to represent a company in the marketplace with a consistent image, such as each time someone sees this brand, a certain message comes to mind, this may be a good fit.

So, in this case if you have a product that contains a presentation distinct to your brand, it's part of your corporate branding process.
