    Modernizing Heritage Brands – Without Losing Their Legacy

    One of the biggest challenges companies face is how to maintain their heritage while adapting to changing consumer preferences. The task can be even more daunting for legacy brands that on the one hand have built their reputations on their brand or company history.  But on the other, need to compete with newer brands that feel more modern. Establishing that critical but delicate balance requires the skills of a branding master.

His work focuses on making legacy brands culturally relevant again, simplifying their portfolios and enabling them to deliver at speed. I can’t wait to sit down with Michael and find out what he did to give  these legendary brands a modern makeover - without losing the essence of what makes them unique.
