Brand Refresh

A Brand Refresh is a strategic redesign and recalibration of your brand identity.

Product Brief

Markets evolve, audiences shift, and expectations rise. Even strong brands need to adapt to stay relevant. A Brand Refresh is not a total reinvention—it’s a strategic upgrade. It helps you realign, refine, and recharge your brand so it feels fresh, consistent, and fit for the future.

At Lightbugs, we help brands rediscover their essence and express it with clarity and confidence. Whether it’s tightening your visual identity, updating your tone of voice or refining how you show up across platforms—we make sure your brand grows with purpose, not confusion.

What is a Brand Refresh?

A Brand Refresh is a strategic redesign and recalibration of your brand identity. It’s about updating what’s outdated, realigning what’s misaligned and amplifying what’s working without losing the core that makes you, you.

It can include tweaks to your logo, colour palette, typography, brand voice, messaging, visuals or website—depending on what needs evolution. Think of it as a brand health check + creative update, backed by insight and strategy.

Who is it for?

  • Brands that feel outdated or visually inconsistent

  • Growing businesses that have evolved but their brand hasn't kept up

  • Companies expanding into new markets, products or audiences

  • Teams seeking stronger alignment in visual and verbal identity
