Every successful brand refresh is the product of intentional, mission-driven reasoning, in-depth discussions with key stakeholders, and rigorous qualitative and quantitative data collection around your key audiences. A rebrand often occurs at an inflection point for an organization, whether it’s driven by growth, organizational developments, or shifting audience priorities
Clearly articulate the “why” behind evolving your brand identity
What factors are driving you to revamp your organization’s brand identity?
- Is the organization at a point in its growth where a refresh would allow you to better connect with your key audiences and/or are there new organizational priorities that necessitate this change?
