- Identity no longer reflects the organization.
- PR crisis.
- Outdated or non-inclusive language or visuals.
- Mergers.
- Known for the wrong things.
- Difficulty engaging current or new audiences.
- Competition with similar organizations.
- Examples of rebranding:
- SaskAbilities (1950-2017)
- NIB Trust Fund (rebranded as Future Generations Foundation)
- Catholic Family Services Regina (rebranded as rooted connections)

- Involve stakeholders.
- Organize a preview event.
