Introduction
What is a Rebrand?
At its core, rebranding is about realignment. It’s about ensuring that your brand resonates with your current and prospective audience, stands out in a saturated market, and accurately reflects your business’s vision, values, and future direction.
Whether driven by a change in business strategy, market positioning, target audience, or a need to overcome a challenged reputation, rebranding represents an opportunity to revitalise your brand and spark renewed interest and engagement from your audience.
REBRANDING
When Should I Rebrand?
Identifying when it’s time for a rebrand can be challenging. Signs may include a noticeable disconnect between your brand and your target audience, difficulties standing out among competitors, or the evolution of your business goals and services.
A successful rebrand addresses these challenges head-on, transforming your brand’s image, perception, and market position.

Consumer attention spans are fleeting and competition is but a click away, the importance of a strong, cohesive brand cannot be overstated. Branding is far more than just a memorable logo or a catchy slogan; it’s the embodiment of your business’s identity, values, and promise to your customers. It’s what sets you apart in a crowded market and creates a lasting connection with your audience.

Common Rebrand Questions
How long does a rebranding project typically take?
A typical rebranding project can take anywhere from 2 to 12 months, depending on the project’s complexity and scope. We strive to work efficiently while ensuring ample time for creativity and iteration. If you have an ideal timeframe or have an urgent need to rebrand please let us know when submitting your enquiry or during our discovery call.
How much does rebranding cost?
The cost of rebranding varies greatly depending on the project’s scale, required deliverables, and specific needs.
Our rebrands typically range from $7,500 – $60,000.
We recommend scheduling a consultation to discuss your objectives so we can provide a tailored quote. If you are considering a rebrand but your budget does not fit into the range above, we recommend still reaching out as we have a number of partners who may be able to support your budget, and we can provide you with online resources and digital tools that can help during the rebrand process to keep costs to a minimum.
Will a rebrand disrupt my current operations?
The short answer is yes. Depending on the size of your team, there will be a degree of work that team leaders will need to do on top of their daily workload. However, our goal is to ensure a smooth transition with minimal disruption to your operations. We’ll work closely with your team to plan the rollout strategically and provide support throughout the process.
We are experts at bringing your team along the journey with you, so the excitement of the rebrand outweighs the grumbles that may come with having to rebrand their internal documents or client facing collateral.
How do we measure the success of a rebrand?
Success metrics can include increased brand awareness, improved customer perception, higher engagement rates, and ultimately, growth in sales or market share. We’ll define specific KPIs at the project’s outset and monitor these post-launch. We can also build brand monitoring systems and tracking tools specifically for your organisation so you can continue to track brand success long past our engagement.
