Customers today have many options.So crystallizing “why” people should care about your brand/company and choose it instead of one of your competitors is a vital and important strategic step.
A brand helps drive a clear wedge between your company and your competition.
So when is the righttime to rebrand?

Your brand should be the choice in your industry, not just another product or service that happened to get picked.
One thing few businesses understand is that brandinghas a purpose. That purpose comes down to four words:
The Art of Differentiation.Without that differentiation, customers are left
floundering being led by anonymous reviews, randomword of mouth (good and bad) or sales price specials.
Branding puts the necessary control backin your hands, where it belongs.

The Kane company is a 100-year-old company and during that time, through many mergers and acquisitions, the brand had lost focus. Commissioned to redefine the brand
and get it back on track, we developed new company and division names with a new identity and a slogan that brought everything together, “Guardians of Safe Environments.”

Determine if time is showing the age of your brand, making
it less desirable,less relevant,less valued.
And if so, makeyour move now
(before you go from yesterday’s newsto a history lessonin what not to do).
