Rebranding is easy.
Realigning a brand without losing its essence? That’s hard.

Today we look at three very different brands, but one common thread: they changed direction without anchoring it in strategy.

🎯 Cracker Barrel: tried to modernize a heritage brand and alienated its core audience.
🥤 Tropicana: killed recognition with a sleek design and lost 20% of sales.
🌐 Meta: chased the future while losing billions and confusing its public.

These stories are reminders that positioning isn’t decoration.
It’s strategic direction. And it must be protected, especially during change.

Tell me, what other brand fails do you remember?
