Use case

Rebranding and repositioning

The name changed, the company merged, or the product outgrew how it was described. Now every deck, page, contract template and search result still points at the old story.

Rollout status Migrated
Website Old identity
Sales material Mixed versions
Search visibility At risk
Customer comms Not sent
A rebrand is not a logo. It is a migration with a hundred small dependencies.
The challenge

The risk is not design, it is continuity

Repositioning work goes wrong in two places: internally, where half the material never gets updated, and externally, where a badly handled migration loses rankings and confuses customers who were perfectly happy.

Two identities in the market

New website, old decks. Customers see both within a week and assume something went wrong.

Search equity thrown away

Pages move, URLs change, redirects are missing. Years of ranking disappear in a fortnight.

Customers hear it from a logo

No explanation, just a new colour scheme. The first question sales gets is whether you were acquired.

What should be done

Change the story once, everywhere

A rebrand is a project with a launch date and a dependency list. The story is decided first; everything else is disciplined rollout.

01
Settle the positioning
What the company is now, what changed and what has not. Written before any design work starts.
02
Rebuild the identity system
Logo, type, colour and templates, delivered as a kit the team can actually use.
03
Plan the technical migration
URL map, redirects, canonical tags, analytics and search console handled before launch day.
04
Tell customers first
A direct message to existing customers and partners explaining the change, ahead of the public launch.
05
Roll out in one wave
Website, decks, documents, signatures, profiles and social assets switched together, not over months.
How it should be done

Eight weeks, then the cleanup

Weeks 1–3

Position and design

Positioning agreed, identity developed, and a full inventory of everything carrying the old brand.

Weeks 4–7

Produce and prepare

Templates, website, sales material and the redirect map built and tested on staging.

Week 8 onward

Launch and monitor

Coordinated switch, customer communication, then weekly monitoring of rankings and traffic.

The redirect map is the part that decides whether the rebrand costs you traffic. It takes a day to build properly and months to recover from if it is skipped.
