Congratulations!
Your brand is a CRED Starter.
Youâve started the journey to strengthening your brand which is really exciting. Please donât be overwhelmed with what to do next â there is a clear way forward.Â
Your goal is to think like a detective and diagnose.
What you need to investigate first depends on the reason you marked âdonât knowâ to most of your answers.
1. You donât know because you donât fully understand the things being talked about in the quiz.
If this is you, then start by understanding CRED - the four brand factors that drive business growth.
You can do this right now, for free, by downloading the first chapter of Rebrand Right by clicking here.
It explains how making changes to your brand and marketing can drive growth. It gives you the detail for each of the four factors: Cohesion, Relevance, Ease and Difference. It breaks down what you can control within each factor that contributes to a stronger brand. Youâll find examples of brands that made changes to those factors and drove revenue growth, including Nike, IBM, Dove, Salesforce, Liquid Death and Sage.
2. You donât know because you donât actually have the answers to most of the questions asked about in the quiz.
If you donât know, youâve got to find out, right? Itâs time to run a brand diagnosis. This is a data driven, holistic and comprehensive view of the market opportunity, the health of your brand and how well your brand is performing on the CRED factors.
Brand changes can drive business growth in different ways. But if you change the wrong things you can weaken the brand.
Strengthening a brand requires detective work at the beginning to understand what is and is not working.
It sounds obvious right?
But too often this stage is missed out and changes to brand strategy, identity, messaging, marketing and experiences are made without really knowing what problem theyâre trying to solve. Then you face that disappointing conversion with the CEO and CFO that spending on brand and marketing is just ânot worth itâ. Letâs avoid that together.
Chapter 2 of Rebrand Right is all about brand diagnosis. In there youâll find: what to include in the brand diagnosis, how to structure the brand diagnosis presentation, how to sequence and run the research required, how to share the diagnosis with leadership and how to get buy-in to the next steps required.Â
If youâre thinking this is just for big brands and you canât afford to do anything like this, please donât worry, weâve got you covered. Weâve explained how to approach a brand diagnosis when youâre squeezed on budget or time in the chapter too.
Once you know whatâs working and what isnât, you can make the right changes in the right places â whether thatâs strategy, identity, implementation, experiences or marketing (thatâs all covered in the book too).
YOUR SUMMARY:
Discover and diagnose.
 Itâs time to begin your detective work and diagnose the health of your brand.
Weâll be cheering you on! đ˘ đ đĄ

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.
