Building
Brands

Effective branding is differentiation. It starts with a strong logo, a first impression that helps define your product or service. But branding is much more than that, it's the sum total of who you are and how customers perceive you.

Branding begins with crafting a mission/vision statement that accurately reflects your company and its values. This informs everything else, but especially how you communicate and interact with customers. Whether you need a brand new identity or an evolution, I can help you put your brand on it.

A Company
Rebrand

Rebranding can be necessary for multiple reasons: a merger or acquistion, a pivot in focus, or to need to make an existing brand more competitive. Each individual company's needs present unique opportunities, but regardless of the reasons any changes must always be carefully choreographed and communicated to guarantee positive outcomes when launching it.

The example below is Amenity Pool Services, a merger of four separate pool companies representing multiple locations across several states. We rolled out the rebranding in phases, retaining the acquired company's name(s) for a period of time while first implementing an identical look and feel. This preserved brand equity while the business focused on changes in operations and service delivery. Once our internal stakeholders were ready, we unveiled the name change from a much stronger position, since the most disruptive changes had already been implemented. The new brand was free to start generating positive reviews.

I have guided dozens of companies in diverse marketplaces along this journey and would love to help you with yours.

Rebranding Considerations:

  • Evaluate existing brand's equity
  • Current customer sentiment
  • Alignment with the company culture
  • Determine extent of change (evolution or revolution?)
  • Create a strategy/framework for success
  • Craft the external narrative
  • Change management and internal expectations
  • Retain SEO value and lead flow
  • Process optimiziations, especially for a merger
  • Update numerous communication channels

Independence Air

A low-fare, high-touch airline takes flight

A budget airline focused on customer service is challenging. Internal communications and training were as important as external efforts. Independence Air went from a typical contract carrier for United to unique in the industry. I touched every aspect of this new brand and gave it wings, from the employee 'manifesto' handbook to their booking engine.

In less than one year, they ranked 2nd for customer airlines with more expensive tickets and larger marketing budgets. They made 3rd by Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards. The FAA said our emergency card set a new standard.
