How to Rebrand an Industry Revolution

iPhone branding and sales
Reading Time: 3 minutes

industry revolution

If there were ever a sector ripe for me to rebrand an industry, it would be the HR industry.

It’s become stagnant, mechanical, and filled with more variables than some advanced mathematics class.

So along comes a startup that is revolutionizing the standard of performance that can truly be achieved by HR departments without resorting to “hunches” or “gut instinct.”

Here’s a quick overview in episode 81 of One Minute Wednesday (the full story follows below):

Time to Rebrand an Industry

So, my team and I looked over and realized they had a very distinct offering that needed a clear story that answered, “Why them?”

The breakthrough was the name.

Because all the “competitors” sounded like law firms (or the ultimate geek convention with uber-scientific names) that took the “human” factor out of “human resources.”

The Rebrand Rollout

Nothing beats going big.

Here’s how we did it with this new brand:

 

And of course no revolution is complete without the Arc de Triomphe de l’Étoile, one of the most famous monuments in Paris, France, and using it as the backdrop to unveil their brand for the world to see.

That’s how you do it when you’re revolutionizing an industry.

And always remember to go big. Nobody will do it for it.
