Background of the Study
Corporate rebranding refers to the process through which a company changes its corporate image, identity, or positioning in the market. Rebranding can involve changes to a company’s logo, marketing strategy, product offerings, or overall mission. It is often undertaken to revitalize a company, enter new markets, or respond to shifts in consumer preferences or market conditions. Successful rebranding can improve consumer perception, enhance brand loyalty, and drive sales growth.
United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc, one of Nigeria’s leading financial institutions, underwent a significant rebranding exercise in recent years to modernize its image and strengthen its position in the competitive banking sector. UBA’s rebranding efforts have included updates to its visual identity, a focus on digital banking solutions, and repositioning itself as a customer-centric bank. In Benue State, where UBA operates extensively, the success of these rebranding efforts depends largely on how consumers perceive the changes and how these perceptions influence their banking choices.
This study aims to evaluate the effects of UBA’s corporate rebranding on consumer behavior in Benue State. The research will explore whether the bank’s new image and strategies have influenced customer loyalty, satisfaction, and overall brand perception.
Statement of the Problem
Rebranding is a complex process, and its success is not always guaranteed. For UBA, while the rebranding may have been intended to attract new customers and increase brand equity, it is important to understand how these changes have affected consumer behavior in Benue State. Given the diversity of consumer preferences in the banking sector, it remains unclear whether UBA’s rebranding efforts have led to positive shifts in customer loyalty, satisfaction, or engagement in the region.
The study seeks to assess the effectiveness of UBA’s rebranding strategy in Benue State, particularly focusing on how the rebranding has impacted consumer attitudes and behavior. By examining the relationship between rebranding efforts and consumer behavior, the study will provide insights into the effectiveness of corporate rebranding in the Nigerian banking industry.
