Is it time to get a new name?
As companies grow and adapt to changes and opportunities in the market, the original identity can sometimes prove outmoded. As organizations pivot, maintaining a clear and compelling identity are key to continued growth and success. Here are the most common reasons for rebranding a company:
- The company is undergoing a merger/acquisition
- The name is outdated, misleading or inaccurate
- The name is difficult to pronounce and/or spell
- The name is unclear, obscure or difficult to explain
- The name is based on an original geographic location
- The name is based on an original product or service
- The name is based on previous owners surnames
- The name has been reduced to a meaningless acronym
“As organizations pivot, maintaining a clear and compelling identity is key to continued growth and success.”
Renaming your company can be its first big step towards exponential growth. This process often involves roadblocks including consensus management and implementation. Having the right people, process, and implementation policies in place makes all the difference.

What if I want to rebrand a product or service?
Product rebrands are typically driven out of very specific needs such as trademark conflicts, or the need to simplify/clarify an existing product naming hierarchy. Sometimes these situations call for brand new product names, and other times names can be reworked or “reverse engineered” to better fit the needs of the existing product framework. From rebranding your “star” product to reworking an entire brand and sub-brand architecture, Tungsten can help you and your team create clear, cohesive and compelling naming and branding strategies that work.
