Ensuring Your Rebrand Delivers Sustained Value

Key Performance Indicators to Track and Refine Your Brand’s Impact

 

You’ve invested significant resources into undergoing a comprehensive rebranding for your professional services firm. The strategic positioning work is done, the fresh identity has launched, and new sales/marketing assets are in market. But how do you evaluate whether this brand transformation is truly driving results?

 

Rebrands require an ongoing measurement plan to quantify performance, analyze what’s working, and identify areas for optimization. Without strategic metrics in place, you’ll lack the insight to refine your brand execution over time for maximum impact.

 

Branding KPIs

When measuring your rebrand’s success, there are a few key categories of performance indicators to monitor:

Business Growth Metrics:

  • Website Traffic & Lead Volumes
  • Sales Qualified Lead (SQL) Conversion Rates
  • Sales Pipeline Values
  • Client Acquisitions & Revenue Growth
  • Average Project/Retainer Values
  • Brand Awareness & Favorability Studies

Brand Health Metrics:

  • Share of Voice & Search Visibility
  • Website Engagement (Pages/Sessions, Bounce Rates)
  • Social Media Reach, Engagement & Following
  • Customer Satisfaction (NPS, Ratings/Reviews)
  • Referral Volume & Source Tracking
  • Brand Recognition & Market Perception Studies

Recruitment & Culture Impact:
