import { brandsV3 } from '@wix/stores';
// Import the auth strategy for the relevant access type
// Import the relevant host module if needed

const myWixClient = createClient ({
  modules: { brandsV3 },
  // Include the auth strategy and host as relevant
});


async function createBrand(brand) {
  const response = await myWixClient.brandsV3.createBrand(brand);
};
```
