The Value of Bidding on Branded Terms

What is the value of continuing to bid on branded terms? At some point in time any company running a paid search program will be asked the question as to why they are bidding on their own brand terms. The most common rationale is that the brand term will show up in the organic search results, so why should you pay to have an ad show up in the paid search section as well?
