Corporate Brand Renewal

Corporate Brand Renewal requires change. What regularly amuses me is the influence that the Web has had on the firms seeking to change. Oftentimes companies who require a Web site redesign suddenly recognize the need for their offline brand to follow their online brand renewal. Changes to their corporate image on the Web dictates changes throughout the organization.

Engagements such as this often surprise me. Firms that are very strategic when it comes to profit neglect their brand until it catches up with them. Brand Renewal is certainly not a simple undertaking. It requires focus, discipline, motivation and budget. Getting these four items to co-exist can be like herding ostriches (with their heads in the sand).

Through Metaphor’s Corporate Brand Renewal clients experience complete brand transformation. From discovery through execution, this comprehensive process requires a 12 month to 36 month consulting engagement.

Featured in this issue of pull are Metaphor’s case studies for a few companies that required brand renewal and recognized the need to undertake these tasks in the chronology of identity, interactive...then advertising.

My article on Corporate Brand Renewal and its implications in offline communities, as well as, online communities helps to explain why Metaphor is so focused on community-building. Our organizations are regularly interacting with one another in the business community and recognizing the community that surrounds your brand is one of the most important tasks you can undertake.
