Marketing - Management / Quote from newspaper article
Swedish term or phrase: hålla ihop
(Her) uppdrag är hålla ihop varumärket för ett av världens största och mest diversifierade konglomerat...

I understand this as meaning coordinate, administrate. Anyone with a better suggestion?

Explanation:
A literal translation would be "preserve" or "uphold", but they both sound a little passive. "Hålla ihop" is of course jargon, but it is intended to convey a sense of active promotion.
