Building your brand is a crucial part of developing your business. It’s the foundation for giving your company a voice, identity, value, and awareness among potential customers. Branding is all about perception. How your target audiences perceives you and what they think of you can make all the difference in growing your business.
Is your brand look, feel and messaging consistent with who you are today? Or is it out of date and off the mark? Things change quickly in the business world and if your brand doesn’t match your brand promise and differentiators, then it’s definitely time to refresh. Brand updates are crucial to keeping your brand relevant to consumers. What worked last year doesn’t necessarily work this year.
Companies invest a lot of money and effort into building a brand. So why rebrand? Companies have to be diligent about what is happening with their brand and the current business environment. Reasons for rebranding range from negative brand reputation to loss of brand relevancy to legal disputes over the ownership of a brand name.

There are quite a few industries affected by the fickleness of oil prices.
