Short answer

A branded house is a brand architecture in which all products and services sit under one master brand name, such as Google Maps or FedEx Ground. Each offering borrows the parent's reputation and recognition. The approach concentrates marketing investment, but problems with one product can affect perceptions of the entire brand.
