Rebranding is exciting. It’s also a lot of work, and while most of the attention goes into the effort of the rebrand itself, what comes after can be just as overwhelming and time-consuming. We’re referring specifically to updating all of your assets after a rebrand. There are so many aspects of your business’s asset inventory spread across multiple channels, which may include videos, podcasts, brochures, blog posts, mobile apps, website presence, directory listings, autoresponder email campaigns, and more.

How to Pick an Agency for Rebranding Rebranding is no easy task. It’s like a home renovation project: It’s expensive, time consuming, requiring some destruction and revamp, and it can even be a little messy.

It’s no longer enough to just have a great product page or well written blogs. Content hubs are one of the best ways to cut through the noise and distinguish your business from the rest, both to your customers and to Google’s algorithm. Why? Great SEO content hubs provide excellent user experience, invaluable linking opportunities to strengthen your site, and a chance to revitalize your existing content into top-performing pieces.
