I tried this suggestion, but it didn't work. But I came up with this:

my $default_branding = 'demo';
my @all_brandings    = qw(demo blue red green);

sub prepare_path {
     my $c = shift;

     $c->NEXT::prepare_path(@_);

     my $base = $c->req->base;
     my $path = $c->req->path;

     my $branding = $default_branding;
     my $brandings = join('|', @all_brandings);
     if ($path =~ m!^($brandings)/!) {
         $branding = $1;
         $path =~ s!^$branding/!!;
     }
     $base .= $branding.'/';

     $c->req->base($base);
     $c->req->path($path);

     $c->stash->{branding} = $branding;
}

I use it and so far it works great :-)
