Just like movie sequels that skip the '2' and bring something fresh to the table, your brand’s next chapter should be unique and memorable. Titles like The Dark Knight or Mad Max: Fury Road don’t rely on numbers—they build anticipation by giving the audience something unexpected yet connected to the original. The same goes for branding. When evolving your brand, it's not always about being ‘Brand 2.0’—it’s about introducing a new, distinct identity that still carries the essence of your original story.
