Who is Convirza?
Clients
Our name didn’t adequately describe our services and was not a good match for our new product.
A rebrand was necessary and now was the time.
Timeline• December 2014 – Decision to re-brand finalized
• January 2015– Agency vetting and agency chosen
• February 2015– Name and Logo chosen
• May 2015 – Site Launched– Acquired competitor (CallSource)– Re-name announcement
1. Internal Compliance and Engagement
Even in the last week leading up to the rebrand, we discovered stragglers that had missed the bandwagon.
2. The Small Things
No matter how hard we tried, no matter how many meetings we had, we knew we wouldn’t
be able to think of everything.
There would be some process, some system, some piece of content that wasn’t rebranded.
3. Choosing a New Name
Our CEO laid out some clear parameters:
• He liked Latin or Latin-Sounding Names. He also wanted the name to mean something in either English or Latin.
• We had to steer clear of names that sounded like existing products or companies (obviously.)
No one liked anything. Every Name was awful.
After several weeks of brainstorming we still didn’t have name.
The Process• Management Team - Favorites
• Company – Poll
• Executive Team Conclave
4. How Easy It Was to Get Our New Logo
Once we had our name down we needed a logo. The process was much simpler.
• First we chose a color palette.• Then we had a logo meeting with our marketing
agency.• They presented several logos that varied in type
and style.
With a few minor edits, we had our logo.
5. Defining Our Message
Our old name, LogMyCalls, did not fully encompass the power of the analytics that we offer.
The task of defining our new brand message was ESSENTIAL.
