Frequently Asked Questions
How early should I announce a rebrand?
We recommend teasing changes 2-4 weeks before launch, with increasing detail as the date approaches.
Will I lose followers during a rebrand?
Some follower loss is normal, but our tools help minimize this by maintaining engagement and clearly communicating changes.
How do I handle negative reactions to changes?
Our monitoring tools help you identify concerns so you can address them directly and transparently.
Should I change all my content at once?
We recommend a coordinated launch across platforms, but with a transition period where you reference both old and new branding.
