How VIM Group solves it

Understand the impact of brand change before making the investment

Through stakeholder interviews, asset audits, data analysis, and benchmarking, we assess the impact of brand change across your organisation. The result is a clear view of costs, timelines, risks, and rollout scenarios, helping leadership make confident decisions before implementation begins.

Outcome

Up to 40% lower asset production cost vs. unstructured rollouts.

Volkswagen rebrand
Geldmaat rebrand

Deliver brand change across every touchpoint

We run the rollout as a programme, not a project. PMO, vendor management, asset production tracking and on-the-ground QA — managed centrally, executed locally. Your in-house team stays in control; we carry the operational load.

Outcome

Fast end-to-end rollout across 100+ global sites.

So the new brand stays the new brand — 12 months after launch

Launching the brand is only the beginning. Training, governance, support tools, and clear ownership help teams adopt the new identity and maintain consistency over time. We help organisations embed the structures, resources, and ways of working needed to sustain brand change long after launch.

Outcome

95% brand compliance sustained 12 months post-launch.

Let us support you with a Rebranding Impact Analysis

Clarity on what rebranding really takes: impact, budget, scenarios, and timelines.

Our typical starting point for any brand change initiative, the Rebranding Impact Analysis defines the optimum approach to implementation.

By combining stakeholder interviews and working sessions, data analysis, branded asset audits, and benchmarking against our database of 2,500+ rebrands, we deliver clear, actionable recommendations for how your organisation should approach its brand transformation.

Executive Decision Making

Confident decisions in the boardroom start with clarity. Our executive summaries highlight key insights and priorities to guide brand change budgets, phasing, and strategy.

Rebranding Scenarios, Roadmaps & Costs 

We help you choose the rollout scenario for your rebranding that best fits your ambitions and realities, with detailed cost breakdowns for full investment control. 

Risks, Governance & Opportunities

Every rebrand comes with challenges. We identify risks, propose mitigations, and uncover efficiency opportunities to ensure your brand change runs smarter and faster.

The next step: Brand Implementation & Rebranding Support

Navigating brand change – from planning to launch.

Implementing brand change can be complex – but with the right support, it doesn’t have to be. We help organisations navigate brand transformation with confidence, clarity and control – from initial planning through to full implementation.  

We can provide global oversight to your rebranding programme. We manage local execution, deliver technical design, coordinate subcontractors and assure quality at every stage. Expect greater efficiency, reduced costs and complexity, and a smoother rebranding experience from start to finish. 

Most importantly, we help you avoid the common pitfalls, setting your brand change up for success from day one and getting it right the first time.


Rebranding Programme Setup & Preparation

A successful rebrand begins with strong foundations. We set up a clear plan of approach, governance, and organisational alignment so every deliverable, deadline, and budget is ready for a smooth launch.

PMO & Project Management Support

Rebranding programmes are complex. Our people coordinate internal teams and external partners, managing risks and timelines. With structured progress reporting to sponsors and stakeholders, we ensure seamless brand implementation.

Brand Change Subject Matter Expertise

Our specialist brand change knowledge ensures efficient implementation across all touchpoints – from the physical (signage, fleet, workwear, product & packaging) to digital/IT infrastructure, marcomms, HR, legal and regulatory.

Technical Brand Design Support

Brand guidelines are only as strong as their implementation. We translate them into clear visual and technical requirements, detailed drawings, and practical application guidelines — ensuring consistent rollout and cost control, supported by prototyping and value engineering.

Quality Control & Supplier Management

Consistency, quality, and efficiency are crucial. We supervise production, supply chains, and installations, evaluate and select suppliers based on reach, cost and capability, and we monitor outputs for accuracy and consistency.

Training & Governance

Empowering your teams to roll out and sustain the brand is key. We provide action plans, deploy enablement tools (guidelines, DAM, brand helpdesk and FAQs), train internal teams, partners and suppliers, and create post-launch brand governance frameworks and maintenance models.

Questions about brand change answered

How long does a global rebrand actually take?

Every rebrand is different. The timeline depends on factors such as the number of countries involved, the volume of physical and digital assets, supplier dependencies, and business priorities.

What does a brand implementation programme typically cost?

It depends on scope — number of countries, physical vs. digital assets, supplier footprint. VIM Group uses its Impact Analysis methodology and benchmark data from more than 2,500 brand transformation programmes to help organisations understand costs, identify budget drivers, and evaluate different rollout scenarios.

Do we need to replace our existing agency or in-house team?

Cras mattis consectetur purus sit amet fermentum. Integer posuere erat a ante venenatis dapibus posuere velit aliquet. Aenean lacinia bibendum nulla sed No. We work alongside your strategy partner, creative agency, technology providers, and internal teams. Our role starts where the design system ends: getting it live, everywhere — planning, coordinating, implementing.

What happens after first contact?

A 30-minute call to understand your situation. If there's a fit, we'll discuss the most appropriate next step — whether that's an Impact Analysis, an initial assessment, or a deeper exploration of scope, risks, timelines, and budget. No obligation.

Which industries do you work with?

Financial services, industrial, energy, healthcare, telecom and professional services — anywhere brand consistency across markets matters. Clients include ABB, ING, Sanofi, Rehlko and Odido.

Can you handle physical and digital assets?

Yes. From signage, workwear, vehicles, and packaging to websites, applications, templates, and brand portals, we help organisations manage physical and digital brand change as one coordinated programme.

How do you guarantee brand compliance after launch?

We hand over governance frameworks, DAM setup, supplier playbooks, and brand portals. Where needed, we also provide ongoing support, helpdesk services, and expertise to help teams maintain brand consistency over time.
