What is Rebranding?
Rebranding is the process of updating your brand identity – including your name, logo, messaging, packaging and tone of voice – to better reflect your company’s vision, values and current market position.
Types of Rebranding
-
Brand Refresh: A subtle evolution of your current brand to stay relevant
-
Full Rebrand: A complete transformation of how your brand looks, feels, and sounds
Rebranding helps when:
-
Your brand no longer reflects your offer or ambition
-
You’re entering new categories or geographies
-
You’re losing relevance with consumers or retailers
-
You’ve outgrown your current brand

Yenda Brewing Co. Rebrand and Packaging Refresh
The Yenda Brewing Co. beer brand has been around for a number of years and is the current sponsor of the Wallabies Rugby Union team. Due to a massive influx of new brands into the craft beer space, Yenda had lost market share against its new and shiny competitors. We were engaged as the rebranding agency and tasked with refreshing the brand to drive more of a mainstream craft positioning with maximum appeal and standout on shelf.
“The Creative Method helped to not only deliver a strong, distinctive brand identity but helped us build a stronger brand. The customer, end consumer and salesforce reaction to Yenda has been phenomenal – a truly inspired brand redesign!” Stuart Boag, Brand Marketing Manager, Coca-Cola Amatil
Oporto Rebrand & Customer Experience
Oporto flame grilled Portuguese chicken is perhaps better known as ‘the famous’ Bondi Beach chicken burger brand by people in Sydney, Australia. As the QSR business moved into new regional areas across Australia and abroad, Oporto saw the need for a rebrand to move away from its ‘Bondi’ brand positioning and to be more reflective of its Portuguese origins – as expert in ‘Portuguese Flame Grilled Chicken’.
“The result of our rebranding project was a vibrant and playfully positive blend of Portuguese culture and Australian humour that helped contribute to a 40 point increase in store Net Promoter Score.” Craig Tozer, former CEO, Craveable Brands

“The results from our rebrand have been outstanding, with significantly increased sales both domestically and globally, as well as a brand that is becoming more recognisable throughout the world.” Alison Downs, Brand Manager, The Delta Wine Company
