Experience: Listen. Simplify. Adapt.
Brands today don’t exist in a vacuum. They’re not unilateral, broadcasting to the world what they want people to believe about them. They’re dynamic, shaped and felt by people – their customers, their partners, their investors or their employees – across every touchpoint. Each audience passes judgement based on how that brand shows up, how it speaks to them, and how it makes them feel.

6 reasons to rebrand
Today, brand is more than a name, logo, tagline, advertising campaign or even the marketing department’s sole purview. A brand’s success is measured by the summation of the touchpoints all stakeholders—customers, employees, partners, investors, community—have with an organization. When a brand is well-managed, stakeholder experiences align with the expectations set by marketing communications and the brand grows in value over time. However, sometimes brands lose relevance and need to be reconsidered, a process known as rebranding. Here are six scenarios when a company might want to consider rebranding.

The myth of the “short name”
Whether it’s for a rebrand or a new brand, product or service, your company’s name(s) play a vital role in your brand experience. If you’ve been a brand marketer long enough, you will come to recognize and be asked to name to trends. The key problem with this ask is that trends disappear, and what you’re left with is a neon sign of a forgotten time.

What is freedom? SUVs versus EVs
In August 2020, The Global Action Plan cited polling results suggesting that the UK public wants to see government encourage car manufacturers to produce more Electric Vehicles (EVs). It would stand to reason that given the focus on their children, parents would be eager to invest in a form of transport that ensures the safety of future generations. But how do parents feel about the prospect of switching to EVs and abandoning their trusty family SUVs?
