Are brands dead? What are the trends in optimising a company’s brand profile? And how do you transform a small Dutch startup to become a world leading company on rebrands? 

Marc Cloosterman spoke with Torund Bryhn of the Beyond Acronyms Project about all things branding, including the financial value of brands, how to future-proof your brand, and how to succeed in business. 

In the 17th episode of the famous Crux of the Story podcast, Gary Sheffer and Mike Fernandez dive into the business side of branding and Volkswagen’s recent brand refresh with Marc Cloosterman, CEO of VIM Group. 

In this podcast episode Gary and Mike discuss with Marc the latest trends in the field of brand and considerations when changing or refreshing a brand. Also, he shares his experience working for VIM Group, advising and supporting big brand transitions for many global brands, all over the world. 

All of us are going through unprecedented transformations; the way we communicate, the way we shop and connect with others have changed. And even when we are longing for life to go back to normal, most likely, many things will not go back to the way they were before the pandemic.

The same goes for companies and brands. Reality forced them to change the way they do business, and they had to adapt to people’s new habits and preferences. Those who identify the best path of adapting will be the fortunate ones, the ones that will emerge victorious in the post-pandemic world. 

In this podcast Marc Cloosterman speaks with Torund Bryhn of the Beyond Acronyms Project about the future of branding in the world during and after the pandemic.
