From Rebrand to Roadmap

“After a change in leadership at KW in 2021, the company underwent a brand refresh which included the unveiling of a new logo. With the guidance of Sarah Kinard and The Flamingo Project, we successfully continued our rebranding efforts, which included an overhaul of our firm’s messaging and the development of an annual marketing campaign plan. Sarah skillfully led us through various exercises and sessions, resulting in the establishment of new company values, market-focused personas, key messaging statements, and an updated firm description. Collaborating with Sarah was an invaluable experience for our marketing team. Her ability to empathize with our position and effectively communicate innovative ideas to the leadership team was truly remarkable. I wholeheartedly recommend The Flamingo Project for any research or rebranding project.”
