Anita's Recommendation for Brands:
“Brand transformation requires courage—and data. My advice to any organization:
-
Listen deeply to your stakeholders.
-
Quantify the problem and the progress.
-
Build creative that’s authentic, not just trendy.
-
Treat rebranding as a business strategy, not just a marketing tactic.”
