Rebranding a Retail Store


The Rockwell Groups goal is to create an immersive environment those coincides with its various projects. They strategize ways to help new innovations and reinvent what already exists. The strategists work with interior designers, branding, and service design all to create one strategy.
Company branding is the major advertising component. To create a brand that has and carries a certain kind of personality sets the company’s audience and bran name. Once a brand is marketed well by reaching out to their target audience, people become brand loyal and start only associating themselves with that company. This kind of loyalty is build by how the service is delivered to the audience. Service design is the experience that people undergo with a product or design. It sets the tone for that object and company overall. Strategy comes into play because it looks at the whole experience and helps fit all the pieces together.

When it comes to rebranding, companies analyze their competitors, their own products and marketing styles. They analyze what aspects have to be reinvented in order to create a new persona. Rockwell comes in handy during this procedure. They develop a retail design and personality as well as Identify important store and brand assets which customers should experience. Once things are all set, they observe and test out what additional adjustments need to be altered. After that, there is still a lot more to do. The Design Phase is meant to translate these insights and opportunities into a feasible design direction. The three kinds of design are:
  1. Schematic Design
  2. Design Development
  3. Construction Documents 


Once the design part is started, these ideas need to be tested. The testing process includes making models/prototypes, researching behavioral prototypes and brainstorming and sketching different designs. Additional sketches and mockups need to be made in order to really make people believe this company is brand new to its market. The entire rebranding concept is to reinvent the company. With these steps, rebranding can definitely be a success!
