Challenge

Overcoming Past Perceptions - Without a doubt, the most common challenges brands face when reinventing themselves is their old reputation. Especially current customers will have a difficult time overcoming their previous knowledge and biases concerning your brand, which just happens to be exactly your goal.

A more innocent group of stakeholders that could nonetheless harm the re-branding process are your employees. They have become so used to their own brand identity that the switch will be difficult. In communicating with external audiences, they may continue to use old logos or brand names. But at the same time, they absolutely need to be on board with the new brand if you want your adoption to go well.

Insights

Sometimes, you just need to start over. An identity becomes outdated, your target audience no longer responds, or you change your core value proposition. No matter the reason, it could be time for some ReBranding.

Solution


There is a reason you’re engaging in a re-brand, whether your product or value proposition has changed, or the majority of your audience simply no longer responds to your brand identity. But chances are your stakeholders don’t know that, which may cause them to feel blindsided by the change. Fortunately, you can address that problem before it becomes an issue by communicating the chances – and the reason for those changes – before they take place. Find your most influential stakeholders, and involve them in the re-branding process.

Outdoor Strategy


Imagine the company you work for suddenly changes its name. How long will it take for you to adjust? Now imagine that same company said that it will change its name six months from now. Clearly, the chances of adjusting by the time the new name launches are much higher because you already had your adjustment period. Involving your employees early in the process helps ensure that by the time you roll out the new brand, everyone is on board.
