Repositioning a brand isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about economics. When done right, a shift in brand positioning can open new market segments, strengthen value perception, and create long-term competitive advantages. The following anonymized examples illustrate how strategic repositioning has translated brand perception into measurable business outcomes.
