rebrand

British  

/ riːˈbrænd /

verb

1. (tr) to change or update the image of (an organization or product)

---

Explanation

In business, to rebrand is to change the way customers see a product or company by changing logos, names, or designs. If your pet-sitting service isn't attracting much interest, you might want to rebrand it. You could change the name from "Dylan's Dogs" to "Pawsitively Purrfect Pets," and design a new website. You'd be taking a tired old brand and giving it an update so potential customers see it in a new light. Companies also rebrand themselves to shift the way they're perceived, like McDonald's did by adding salad, fruit, and milk to their menu and ending "supersize" options.
