Here’s a sneak peek of the supplement where accomplished international marketer Paul Nelson asks you whether your organisation needs to rebrand.
 
"Before committing to a rebrand, check if your business problem appears in the list below. Checking two or more of the boxes is a decisive indicator that it is time for your organisation to rebrand. If your situation doesn’t appear in the list, consider if a rebrand is truly the best solution to take your organisation forward."
  • Are you looking for a way to accelerate growth and lead your organisation forward?
  • Have you merged with another organisation or been acquired by another organisation?
  • Have you acquired a significant new asset?
  • Have you introduced a game-changing new product or service?
  • Are you developing a new strategy that will change the direction of your organisation?

  • Have you been exposed to trademarking or legal issues?
