In the past 2 years alone, we\u2019ve been through a pandemic, extraordinary climate disruptions, major political transitions, and transformative social reckonings. Culture, society, and individuals have adapted to new norms faster than ever before\u2014but where do brands fit into this rapid pace of transformation? And what are the new standards for developing as a modern, equitable brand?<\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n    \n    \n    \n    <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns stocksy-generic-text-image\" id=\"block_a5fe785aa8829eb843210f31435debf1\">\n\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:24%\"><\/div>\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:58%\">\n\n    \n              <p>First, let\u2019s take a step back to consider what a \u201cbrand\u201d actually is. A brand, specifically, is the identity of a business. There are countless other definitions if you Google the term, \u201cbrand.\u201d Here are a few favorites:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour brand is your promise to your customer,\u201d from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/encyclopedia\/branding\">Entrepreneur magazine<\/a>.<br \/>\n\u201cA brand creates distinctive images and associations in the minds of customers,\u201d from the American Marketing Association.<br \/>\n\u201cA brand is a customer\u2019s complete experience with a product or company,\u201d from Harvard Business Review.<\/p>\n<p>But does a brand always need to be tied to the customer? That\u2019s a tough question to answer. In business, there is always a customer. In this new world we\u2019ve half created and half been handed, perhaps a brand can be more than a customer relationship and go beyond the business or product. And that idea raises even more questions about what a modern brand can be, how it can function, and what it can represent.<\/p>\n\n      \n              \n        \n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\"><\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns stocksy-image-contained\" id=\"block_73d508df840ae1ab4f258fc7784b9794\">\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:8%\"><\/div>\n  \n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:92%\">\n    <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\n              <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/4262277\/couple-playing-with-a-brown-veil-in-desert\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"buy_url\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Stocksy_comp_4262277-1-1024x682.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Couple Playing With A Brown Veil In Desert\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Stocksy_comp_4262277-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Stocksy_comp_4262277-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Stocksy_comp_4262277-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Stocksy_comp_4262277-1.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n              <\/a>\n            <figcaption>\n                      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/leirecavia\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"image-author\">\n              Leire Cavia\n            <\/a><br>\n                          <\/figcaption>\n    <\/figure>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns stocksy-generic-text-image\" id=\"block_5cdaf1094df8c8e17b532fd383807530\">\n\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:24%\"><\/div>\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:58%\">\n\n    \n              <p>The foundation of a brand is its purpose\u2014the promise it\u2019s made and what it\u2019s supposed to stand for.

There\u2019s an endless supply of textbooks and courses led by branding experts who have been teaching and qualifying the fundamentals of brand strategy for decades, but a lot of those standards have been thrown out the window since we crash-landed into the current decade.

And behind every brand, there are living, breathing, humans. It\u2019s up to us as individuals to work collaboratively with open minds to align on what a brand should stand for in its respective market and the world at large. It\u2019s up to us as individuals to ask challenging questions and make difficult decisions for when it\u2019s time to reset or change or pivot and set a new course. <\/p>\n<p>So, when is the right time to revisit your brand? The strategic decision to rebrand or debrand falls on leadership. Leaders have a responsibility to listen to their employees, their customers, and their community for guidance. Taking action on behalf of the individuals whom leaders represent, while still prioritizing business goals, should inform the current and future brand strategy and ongoing evolution.   <\/p>\n\n            \n              \n      <\/div>\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:34%\"><\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video autoplay controls loop muted src=\"https:\/\/c.stocksy.com\/a\/A8FJ00\/y0\/4586398.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/4586398\/diverse-female-colleagues-discussing-notes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BONNINSTUDIO<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns stocksy-generic-text-image\" id=\"block_1780213263f3b16660bd2229eb48fa12\">\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:8%\"><\/div>\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:58%\">\n    \n              <h3>What triggers the need for rebranding?<\/p>\n<h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/99designs.ca\/blog\/logo-branding\/how-to-rebrand\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rebranding<\/a> is a signal of a strategic shift. Sometimes the intention is for a company to rid itself of a crisis or damaged image, but not always.

It could be a variety of issues, such as outdated company culture, inequity, product irrelevance, production ethics, category disruption, whitespace opportunity, press, loyalty, product development, new revenue streams, etc. So many variables\u2014internal and external\u2014can trigger the need to rebrand. This can happen gradually over time as culture and the market adapts, or by way of a major social event or political shift that acts as a catalyst. <\/p>\n\n            \n              \n    \n            \n              <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\n\n                              <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/4006277\/flower-in-broken-stone?vs=1\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"buy_url\">\n                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Stocksy_comp_4006277-1024x682.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Flower inside broken stone on light pink and violet background with copy space\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Stocksy_comp_4006277-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Stocksy_comp_4006277-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Stocksy_comp_4006277-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Stocksy_comp_4006277.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n                      <\/a>\n                    <figcaption>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/artjazz\/showcase?page=1\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"image-author\">\n              Yaroslav Danylchenko\n            <\/a><br>\n            \n          <\/figcaption>\n        <\/figure>\n              \n      <\/div>\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:34%\"><\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns stocksy-generic-text-image\" id=\"block_73db7013cf87103811c08adbff1b5b3b\">\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:8%\"><\/div>\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:58%\">\n    \n              <p>It\u2019s entirely possible that nothing is wrong or dysfunctional within a brand, but as the world changes around it, it becomes necessary to adapt. Rebranding can provide new opportunities to communicate brand attributes in a way that\u2019s transparent and meaningful. These days, this must go beyond advertising. Establishing value-based relationships with consumers around their interests, life stages, and behaviors is what earns trust and loyalty. A rebranding strategy should be built around customer needs\u2014and that often sits outside of the product. Rebranding is about collaborating with audiences to understand and activate what matters to them.<\/p>\n<p>The decision to rebrand should have clear benefits. Will it elevate and optimize how the business functions? Will it create new revenue opportunities at scale? Will it differentiate the brand and show value within a saturated market landscape? Some brands benefit from small acts of rebranding, like a new campaign or progressive initiative. Others undergo monumental structural changes and completely redesign business models in order to attain similar benefits. The spectrum is broad and there\u2019s no set criteria to inform the decision to rebrand. <\/p>\n<p>Again, it\u2019s about understanding the needs of your brand\u2019s community, recognizing the necessary changes to be made, and executing that transformation.<\/p>\n\n            \n              \n      <\/div>\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:34%\"><\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns stocksy-generic-text-image\" id=\"block_67d79c0f52a3c81924728aad4f426b2a\">\n\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:24%\"><\/div>\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:58%\">\n\n    \n              <h3>When is the right time to step back and consider debranding?<\/p>\n<h3>\n<p>Brand building, brand strategy, and brand marketing work cohesively to make up the visual identity and representation of a brand.

But there must be a consistent and relatable connection with the audience for debranding to be successful and understandable.<\/p>\n<p>Modern branding trends and progressive brand building are becoming increasingly centralized around equity, inclusivity, and transparency. Brands competing for space in the current social climate need to break free of legacy identities to connect and collaborate with what people care about on a personal and emotional level. And it must be authentic and real for people to actually care. Progressive branding is about standing for something that\u2019s bigger than your business. <\/p>\n<p>At Stocksy, we took a hard look at <a href=\"https:\/\/brandpad.io\/stocksy\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">our brand attributes<\/a> and applied changes to them\u2014rebranded\u2014to reflect our values and beliefs.
