Rebranding Your Firm: SEO-Optimized Title
•
3 likes•1,593 views
Your firm should be continually growing its expertise and capabilities. In the last 5-10 years, you probably added new markets and new services. You may have an entirely new strategic direction. Is the public perception of your firm keeping up, or is it stuck in the past? It could be time for a rebrand. Rebranding is not a panacea. But done well, it can energize a tired brand. All A/E/C firm brands go through a life cycle. So it's nearly guaranteed that, at some point in your career as a firm owner or marketer, your firm will go through a rebrand. From gaining Board of Directors' approval, to budgeting, managing the process, managing expectations, and rolling it out, this can be a delicate process. Just ask Yahoo, The Gap, and UPS. This slide deck is from a webinar designed to help you navigate the process of what, when, and how to complete a successful A/E/C firm rebranding.
