Think about rebranding only when there are changes in your vision and mission statements, target audiences, or landscape. Dunkin\u2019 underwent the rebranding process to showcase that &#8211; they serve great coffee fast; this was done to accommodate its product and to expand the targeted market.<\/li><li><strong>Establish Rebranding Goals: <\/strong>Brands need to establish the overall objective they wish to achieve through rebranding.

For example, Weight Watchers rebranded itself as a wellness company by tweaking its name and logo to match the target audience persona.<\/li><li><strong>Brand Identity:<\/strong> While creating a new identity, brands need to determine how they want people to perceive it and what they want to associate it with. For example, is it a company that thinks outside the box to provide solutions? or is it a luxurious brand? Once this is decided, all the creative elements like logo, website, etc., should align with the new brand identity. Microsoft Office created a new brand identity by making its program icons look more modern.<\/li><li><strong>Launch and Execute: <\/strong>For any marketer, going live is the most nerve-wracking event.
