brand portfolio, brand position


Explanation:
To be honest, I don't quite understand your context, therefore this is just a wild guess.

I translate for market research institutes and in that case, it would be translated as above, but I don't know, if that fits your context.

Vielleicht auch world-wide existence of brands?

Hope this helps somehow,
Patricia

agree  Glyn Haggett: I would change "her" to "its", since trademarks are generally held by companies, but otherwise I think this renders the German very well
