How to use brand architecture to repair a fractured brand image

Dear Friend,
What happens when a history museum is well-known and beloved in the community, but the historical society that funds and runs it – is not? The structure of the brand hierarchy needs to be clarified. Working with this client recently led me to write a blog post on Brand Architecture (below). Read about two organizations with this issue and how they resolved their dilemma - plus two important questions to ask yourself if you find yourself in a similar predicament.
Thanks for reading!

Branding Groundwork - Session 1 of the Brand Recipe process
Building an Authentic Brand 

Every brand journey starts with a Branding Groundwork session as part of my Brand Recipe process. We dive down deep into how an organization is perceived, both now in this moment in time and how we would like it to be perceived in the near future. Then compare and discuss. We want a truthful starting point at which to build an authentic brand - both positive AND negative perceptions to be aware of, and dispel.

The community-based nonprofit I'm working with in the example above has some branding challenges, but they are also aligned in their vision and full of energy and conviction. They are on the right path.
