First, changes to the search landscape, which have companies thinking about visibility and LLM citations over SERPs and clicks, are seen as brand marketing efforts. But brands also made news by taking actions that seem to go against their brand values or upset customers. Southwest Airlines, which for years touted "Bags fly free" started charging for checked bags. Cracker Barrel tried to update its logo and faced a backlash from its customer base that threw the brand into national politics.

While I'm not typically a fan of minimalist design, some brands call for stripped-back branding, and one company that's nailing the aesthetic is Blank Street.

Recently unveiling its slick new rebrand, Blank Street reestablishes itself as a global lifestyle brand, owning its identity as a cult favourite.

Gone was the familiar image of Uncle Herschel, the old man in overalls leaning against a wooden barrel.
