Welcome back to Charities.Network, and Issue 23, where we are talking about rebranding. Whether it’s a merger, new name, brand refresh or whole new visual identity you have in the pipeline, rebranding is not a quick process, or an easy one. However it can bring real tangible benefits to an organisation if your brand resonates with your stakeholders and the tone of voice, communications, design assets and visual identity align with your mission and purpose.
In this issue we will see the importance of an inclusive and diverse review of your current brand and involving stakeholders in decisions and consultations for the new brand.
