People commonly invest in a brand at one point, say 1m in revenue and don’t invest again until they reach 10m. This pattern of ‘build then run-out, rebuild, run-out…’ is a huge cost as the expense of renovating and rebuilding a brand is enormous.

We encourage people to become ‘refreshers’ by consistently investing in their brand rather than relying on renovation. Refreshing costs less and the ROI is much higher.
