Adding Schema.org 'Brand' in JSON-LD - schema.org

Question

I have been adding rich snippets to my ecommerce store, and for the most part I have had no problems. For some reason when I go to add in the "brand" that is recommeneded by Google and Google Merchant services I have problems.
I have added this under: http://schema.org/Offer. And by adding it in the script in my header also with no luck.
<script type="application/ld+json" data-resource-group="head_tag" data-resource-code="organization_schema">{
"#context": "http://schema.org",
"#type": "Organization",
"address": {
"#type": "PostalAddress",
"addressLocality": "",
"addressRegion": "",
"addressCountry": "",
"postalCode": "",
"streetAddress": ""
},
"email": "customerservice#domain.com",
"name": "Comany namee",
"telephone": "company number"
},
"brand":{
"#type":"Thing",
"name":"[manufacture_name]"
},
</script>
<meta itemprop="brand" content="[manufacturer_name]" />
"brand":{
"#type":"Thing",
"name":"[manufacture_name]"
},
The second one just simply isn't detected for some reason.
I have code similar to the meta tag throughout the documnet so I would prefer to keep with that format if possible.

Your JSON-LD has syntax errors:
The Organization is closed with },, but the brand property appears after it.
A closing } is missing.
There should be no , after the last }.
So it would be:
{
"#context": "http://schema.org",
"#type": "Organization",
"address": {
"#type": "PostalAddress"
},
"name": "company name",
"brand": {
"#type": "Brand",
"name": "manufacturer name"
}
}
(Note that I used Brand instead of Thing.)
