How to pass bash variable to a string?

I am doing everything in a bash file. I am grabbing to variables from a parameter:

brand="$1"
email="$2"

Afterwards, I want to include on of them inside of a string:

 cd /etc/nginx/sites-available/

 echo 'server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  $brand.mydomain.com;
    root         /srv/www/clients/$brand/soon;
 }' >> default

But it echo's $brand.mydomain.com. How to echo the actual value which I am passing as parameter?

Single quotes don't allow for expansion of anything. Double quotes allow for expansion of variable, but you best enclose the name with parenthesis as shown.

echo "server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  ${brand}.mydomain.com;
    root         /srv/www/clients/${brand}/soon;
}" >> default
