rebranders
Corporate makeover specialists
Rebranders are people or companies that change the public identity of a product, organization, or concept.
The term often carries skepticism—suggesting surface changes without substance: The rebranders want to call it "workforce optimization" instead of layoffs.
Marketing professionals who specialize in corporate identity work may embrace the label; critics use it to imply spin over substance.
