Summary
If you've been part of our community, the name 'numi.' is likely to echo through your experiences with us. It's a name that has accompanied us on a significant part of our journey. However, change is inevitable and here we stand at the crossroads of transformation, ready to unveil a new identity - ‘koorvi’
In this article, we invite you to explore the background to our decision to rebrand. ’numi.’ served us well, but as our ambitions and commitments evolved, so did our need for a name that resonated with our deeper mission. koorvi isn't just a random choice; it's a purposeful reflection of our values. Each element of our new name encapsulates a purposeful symbolism that resonates with our commitment to a sustainable future
What does koorvi stand for?
Finding a new name is no easy task, so after countless hours of brainstorming, we took two words and put them together. Below we explain each component of the new name.
‘koor' - a circle of commitment:
The term 'Koor' is not just a set of letters; it's a nod to the Hungarian language, where 'kör' translates as 'circle'. This deliberate choice demonstrates our unwavering commitment to the circular economy. Just as a circle represents continuity and interconnectedness, so does our commitment to sustainability. The circular economy is not just a model for us; it's the very essence of koorvi, where resources are reused and the cycle of consumption mimics the harmony found in nature.
Double 'oo' - a butterfly's endless spin:
Look closely and you'll notice the double 'oo' in koorvi, a subtle yet powerful reference. It pays homage to the butterfly diagram often associated with the circular economy, where materials flow in a continuous loop. But it also embraces the symbolism of the infinity sign. Here we find a visual representation of circularity that reflects the infinite possibilities that arise when we adopt sustainable practices. The butterfly's dance of transformation reflects our commitment to evolve, innovate and contribute to a healthier planet.
vi' - a living thread in the tapestry of life:
As for the 'vi' in koorvi, it's more than just two letters; it's a profound symbol of 'life'. This addition seamlessly weaves the concept of circularity into the tapestry of life itself. ‘vi' signifies vitality, growth and the interconnectedness of all living things. It's a reminder that our commitment to sustainability is not isolated - it's woven into the very fabric of existence, affecting and enriching all aspects of life.
Why rename the company?
Some may argue that numi. has served its purpose well, but our decision to embrace the name koorvi stems from a strategic vision for the future. This change isn't just a change of letters; it's an evolution that aligns our identity with a broader mission. Here's why we see koorvi as a significant upgrade, encapsulated in three compelling reasons:
1. Brand protection: A Uniquely Our Identity.
In today's competitive business environment, differentiation is key. With koorvi, we've created a name that not only distinguishes us from the crowd, but also gives us a unique identity. The distinctiveness of koorvi ensures strong trademark protection, protecting our brand from potential confusion or imitation. By choosing koorvi, we've strengthened our position and symbolized our commitment to innovation and individuality.
2. Discoverability in the digital world.
In an era dominated by the digital landscape, discoverability is a cornerstone of success. The launch of koorvi isn't just a change of nomenclature; it's a strategic move to enhance our presence on platforms such as Google and beyond. The simplicity and distinctiveness of our new name puts us front and centre, ensuring that connecting with us is not only easy, but seamless. In the vast online realm, Koorvi beckons, inviting connection and collaboration with clarity and precision.
3. Circular Economy Connection: Beyond a name, a purposeful reflection.
Koorvi is a purposeful reflection of our commitment to the circular economy. Beyond the aesthetic appeal, the name resonates with our values and mission. The term 'Koor' nods to the circularity embedded in the Hungarian word 'kör', representing our commitment to sustainable practices. It's not just about what we're called; it's about embodying our purpose in every aspect of our existence. Koorvi therefore becomes a symbolic bridge between our identity and the principles that guide us towards a more sustainable future.
In essence, the evolution from numi. to koorvi is a strategic move, a deliberate step towards a brand that is uniquely ours, easy to find and deeply rooted in our commitment to a circular and sustainable future. Koorvi is not just a new name; it's an upgrade that sets the stage for a transformative journey.
Lessons from our rebranding journey:
Embarking on a rebranding journey is a significant undertaking, full of challenges and opportunities for growth. As we navigated this transformative process, we learned invaluable lessons that we believe can guide and illuminate the path for those considering a similar undertaking. Here are some key takeaways:
1. Have a good reason: A fundamental imperative.
Renaming is not a decision to be taken lightly. It is crucial to have a fundamental reason for the change, one that goes beyond the superficial. Maintaining continuity for customers and partners is paramount. Whether it's a shift in your company's focus, a strategic repositioning or a merger, a clear and compelling reason will ensure that stakeholders understand and embrace the change. Without a solid foundation, the rebranding process can be met with resistance and confusion.
2. Communicate repeatedly: The power of repetition.
Communication is the backbone of a successful rebranding process. Repetition becomes a key tool in ensuring that everyone, both internally and externally, is well informed about the change. Use a variety of communication channels - from internal memos to public announcements. The more consistently and frequently you communicate the reasons and benefits of the rebrand, the smoother the transition will be. Clarity and transparency will be your allies in overcoming potential challenges.
3. Consistency is key: On all fronts.
When rebranding, consistency becomes a non-negotiable. Change the name everywhere - on social media platforms, the company website, email signatures and all other touch points. Consistency not only reinforces the new identity, but also avoids confusion among your audience. A unified and coherent presence strengthens your brand's credibility and facilitates a seamless transition for your stakeholders.
