Congratulations!
Your brand is a CRED Champion.
Well done for building the brand to have high CRED. Brilliant! Youâre scoring top marks and getting so much about brand building right. Whatever you do, donât rebrand!
Your goal is to protect and nurture.
Here are the four steps you need to take:
1. Listen for whatâs changing in the market.Â
The market moves. The world, the category and the cultural codes your buyers are influenced by evolve. Since you authored your brand diagnosis, what has changed in the market? Proactively listen to analysts, influencers, buyers and leadership.Â
2. Know whether your brand CRED is improving.
Having defined what rebrand meant for your business and embarked on implementation, how have everyoneâs efforts improved your brand CRED? Are you more cohesive, relevant, easy and different? The people you want to hear from are employees and buyers. Update your brand diagnosis. If you donât have a brand diagnosis, read chapter 2 of Rebrand Right.
3. Measure the impact of your rebrand and marketing plan.
Be pragmatic, think like a detective to find the answers to your most critical questions and consistently measure the same way. Are you reaching buyers? Are buyers responding? Are buyers engaging? Are buyers considering? What is the impact on revenue?Â
4. Feed your plan.
What next? Definitely not a rebrand or a completely new marketing strategy! Listen, debate, analyse, tweak, improve, optimize, adjust, nudge, encourage. Improving your brand CRED takes time, but you know this is what you need to do to keep your brand growing. Just keep feeding your plan.
IN SUMMARY
As a CRED Champion you need to
Keep feeding, protecting and nurturing your brand.
Weâre here cheering you on!

MEET THE AUTHORS
We're Sarah & Rachel
We've dedicated our careers to strengthening brands. Close to 100 at last count across the A-Z of industries. We've worked as marketing leaders and brand strategists in some of the world's largest businesses and branding agencies. But in the early days we weren't always sure we were making the right changes to drive business growth.
What we always wanted was a clear, step-by-step process identifying why and how to make successful changes to a brand within a business, with all its politics, idiosyncrasies and resistance to change. But weâve had to figure this out ourselves â the hard way.
We hope this book will make it easier for you. Itâs really clear and practical. It draws on our breadth and depth of brand-building experience and the latest thought-leadership on how brands actually help businesses grow. It shares specific and practical details of how to diagnose, define and deliver your rebrand.
