A brand refresh is taking an existing brand and updating it with a modified logo or fresh colors to renew it while keeping most of the brand elements in place. It’s like a makeover for your brand. A brand could need a refresh due to a change in the corporate structure, such as a reorganization. It is a refinement of the brand’s message.
A brand redevelopment is crafting a new brand for a company whose old brand no longer resonates with their audience. This is a total redo from the logo to the marketing materials. This requires understanding the audience’s needs and telling a clear story for the brand.
Determining When to Refresh Your Brand
Here are some reasons to consider updating your brand:
- Your company has new management with new business goals
- You’re introducing a new product or service
- Your company is having a milestone business anniversary, or merging with another company
Review your brand every 3 to 5 years as part of your strategic planning process. A brand refresh should be implemented because it has lost effectiveness, not due to simple boredom. Refresh your brand with explicit business goals in mind.
