# Managing a brand (/docs/agencies/managing-a-brand)

See each brand's plan and billing state, rename or delete a brand, manage who can reach it, and jump into its hubs.

Your agency's **Brands** tab lists every brand in the agency. From there you can subscribe a brand, add people to it, or open its page to rename it, delete it or manage its members.

## The Brands tab [#the-brands-tab]

Each brand card shows the brand's plan, its number of creators and its niche.

| On the card                                         | Meaning                                                                                                          |
| --------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| A plan badge (**Starter**, **Growth** or **Scale**) | The brand is subscribed, or has <Term id="comp">complimentary access</Term> at that plan.                        |
| **No subscription** (amber border)                  | The brand has neither a subscription nor complimentary access. It's locked until someone subscribes it.          |
| **Free until** a date                               | The brand has complimentary access until that date. The pill turns amber in the last 3 days.                     |
| _Plan_ **billing starts** a date                    | The brand has complimentary access and is already subscribed. Billing starts when the complimentary access ends. |

Owners and admins also see an action on each card: **Subscribe** for a brand without a subscription, or **Add member** for an active one. Click **Open** to see the brand's page.

## The brand page [#the-brand-page]

The brand page in your agency shows:

- The brand's name, address (`@slug`), creation date and your access to it, for example **Admin access** or **Admin · Creator access**.
- **Admin Dashboard** to open the brand's admin console, and **Creator Dashboard** if you're also a creator there.
- Counts of the brand's **Members**, **Admins** and **Creators**.
- **Plan & billing**: the brand's **Plan**, **Status**, when complimentary access ends (if it has it) and the monthly price. The owner also sees **Manage billing**.
- **Parent agency**, linking back to the agency.

The **Status** is one of:

| Status                   | Meaning                                                                                                                                          |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Active**               | The brand has a paid subscription in good standing.                                                                                              |
| **Complimentary access** | The brand uses its plan free of charge until a set date.                                                                                         |
| **Payment past due**     | The latest payment failed. The brand keeps working while the owner updates the card. See [Billing](/docs/agencies/billing#fix-a-failed-payment). |
| **No subscription**      | The brand is locked. Everyone who opens it sees "This brand is inactive" until it's subscribed.                                                  |

Brand admins see two tabs on this page: **Settings** and **Members**. Everyone else sees the members list only, read-only.

## Rename a brand [#rename-a-brand]

1. Open the brand page and go to the **Settings** tab.
2. Change **Brand Name** and click **Save Changes**.

The slug, and so the brand's address, can't be changed after the brand is created. This keeps links and bookmarks working.

## Delete a brand [#delete-a-brand]

1. Open the brand page and go to the **Settings** tab.
2. Under **Danger Zone**, click **Delete Brand**, then **Delete** to confirm.

<Callout type="error" title="Deleting a brand can't be undone">

  Deleting a brand permanently removes its workspace, its data and everyone's
  access to it. If the brand has a subscription, Bloss cancels it first, so
  you're not charged again.

</Callout>

To stop paying for a brand without deleting it, cancel its subscription instead. See [Billing](/docs/agencies/billing#cancel-or-resume-a-subscription).

## Manage who can reach the brand [#manage-who-can-reach-the-brand]

On the brand page, the **Members** tab lists everyone with access, plus any pending invitations.

To add someone, click **Add member**:

- **From agency:** pick someone who's already in your agency.
- **Invite by email:** enter an **Email address** and click **Send invitation**. The invitation is valid for 7 days.

Both options add the person as a creator. To make them an admin, or to change what anyone can do in the brand, use the access controls in the members list, or **Brand access** on the agency's **Members** tab. See [Members and access](/docs/agencies/members-and-access#give-someone-access-to-brands) and [Team and access](/docs/brands/settings/team-and-access).
