Rebranding Agency for Companies Ready for Their Next Chapter

Anagram is a Paris-based rebranding agency helping ambitious companies redefine how they are perceived: from strategic audit through full rollout. A rebrand is never just a new logo. It is a complete rethink of what a brand stands for, how it positions itself in the market, and how that identity is expressed across every touchpoint. We work with companies that have outgrown their original identity: businesses entering new markets, preparing for scale, repositioning after growth, or simply realizing their brand no longer reflects the quality of the company behind it. The hardest part of a rebrand is rarely the design itself. It is knowing what to preserve, what to evolve, and what to leave behind. For Fortuneo, our rebrand helped drive +45% subscription funnel entry while repositioning the bank for a younger, more premium audience.

Approach

What a Rebrand Actually Involves

A rebranding agency does far more than redesign a logo. A full rebrand combines strategic thinking, positioning, messaging, visual identity, and deployment across every customer touchpoint. The goal is not to look different for the sake of it. It is to build a brand that better reflects the business and supports where it is going next.

Strategic Audit of the Existing Brand

Before redesigning anything, we map the existing brand ecosystem: what equity is worth preserving, what is holding the business back, how customers perceive the company, and how competitors position themselves. The outcome is a strategic brief grounded in reality, not assumptions.

New Positioning and Messaging

A rebrand begins with redefining the brand's place in the market: who it is for, what it stands for, why it matters, and what makes it different. Without this strategic layer, brands often look new while continuing to feel exactly the same.

New Visual Identity

Logo, typography, color palette, iconography, illustration, and motion language: a complete visual system designed to express the new positioning consistently across every platform, campaign, product, and physical touchpoint.

Full Rollout Across Every Touchpoint

Design systems, photography, motion, product design, website redesign, brand guidelines, and content production: everything required to bring the new brand into the market as a coherent system, not a disconnected collection of assets.

Timing

When to Rebrand

Not every company needs a rebrand, but some signals are impossible to ignore.

Before a Funding Round or Market Expansion

When a business has evolved beyond its startup phase, the brand often lags behind. Investors, enterprise buyers, and new markets interpret branding as a signal of maturity. A strategic rebrand communicates ambition, clarity, and long-term vision before a single conversation happens.

When the Brand No Longer Reflects the Business

Many businesses evolve faster than their identity. New products, new services, new audiences, new ambitions, yet the brand still reflects the company as it existed years ago. That disconnect creates friction internally and externally.

After a Merger or Acquisition

A merger or acquisition creates strategic complexity: multiple cultures, products, audiences, and identities becoming one. A rebrand creates clarity around the new organization and establishes a unified direction moving forward.

When the Category Has Moved On

Markets evolve quickly. Competitors become more sophisticated, visual standards shift, and what once felt modern begins to feel outdated. Rebranding before the gap becomes obvious helps companies stay culturally and commercially relevant.

Case Study

The Fortuneo Rebrand

Fortuneo is one of France's leading online banks, profitable, established, and widely recognized. The challenge was not awareness. The challenge was perception. The launch of the Fosfo card created an opportunity to attract a younger audience, while the Black card needed stronger premium positioning. But the existing identity no longer reflected the ambition of the business.

Fortuneo

Fortuneo

The brand felt functional when it needed to feel desirable. Anagram built the rebrand around Fortuneo's most distinctive strategic asset: the “0” symbolizing free banking. Instead of treating it as a simple feature, we transformed it into a core brand element, fluid, dynamic, scalable, and recognizable across every touchpoint. The rebrand covered strategy, copywriting, visual identity, design system, product design, motion, illustration, photography, video, and web development. Even the physical credit cards became part of the brand experience, produced with premium Pantone inks and tactile varnish finishes designed to reinforce the repositioning physically as well as visually.

Process

Our Rebranding Process

Brand Audit

We analyze the existing identity in depth: what carries valuable brand equity, what creates friction, and how the competitive landscape has evolved. The goal is understanding before redesigning.

Strategic Repositioning

We define the new positioning: audience, messaging, differentiation, perception goals, and strategic direction. This phase creates the foundation every creative decision will build upon.

Identity Redesign

Creative direction, typography, logo systems, color palette, motion language, and design systems are developed collaboratively through structured review and iteration cycles with the client team.

Full Deployment

Motion, photography, digital product design, website development, and rollout across every touchpoint, ensuring the rebrand launches as one coherent ecosystem rather than fragmented deliverables.
