3 Key Takeaways:
- If you’re going to rebrand, it needs to start internally first. It can take years to build that internal buy-in, but it's absolutely necessary.
- Great marketing needs to have pull-through. It can’t just be creative for creativity’s sake; it needs to present a solution to a legitimate market need.
- “A brand is a promise. A great brand is a promise kept.”
