Having a range of brand associations does not imply a lack of focus either on the part of the consumer or the marketer. As stated, it is precisely the way a brand combines different attributes and associations that potentially gives it uniqueness and enriches the brand meaning. What is important is to be clear about what the key defining and differentiating associations are. Coca-Cola runs tactical advertising linking the brand with food, for example, and the brand has a food association. It is, though, a secondary association and so it is unlikely that food would be a defining or differentiating element of Cokes brand meaning.
