and better times in the past included the Sears Tower, not the Willis Tower.\u00a0 Ultimately though, this too shall pass, and the Willis Tower will continue to exist.\u00a0 Will people start referring to the Sears Tower as the Willis Tower anytime soon?\u00a0 It&#8217;s unlikely because the building is ingrained in our lives as the Sears Tower.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a habit that Willis Group Holdings needs to try to break if they want to benefit from the rebranding in the short term, and consumer habits are hard to break.<\/p>\n<p>I also think that the transition would be easier and would happen faster if a well-known, popular brand had purchased naming rights to the Sears Tower.\u00a0 When an unknown brand enters the picture and takes over, consumers are highly likely to resist.\u00a0 Again, it goes back to the comfort and security issues that are innate for most consumers.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think?<\/p>\n<p><em>Image: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/reedesign\/39009777\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flickr<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s not everyday that a national landmark is rebranded, but in the U.S. where everything and anything has a price tag, that&#8217;s exactly what happened last week when the Sears Tower in Chicago, Illinois became the Willis Tower.\u00a0 The new name comes from Willis Group Holdings, an insurance company headquartered in London that is leasing [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[95],"tags":[100,110,1364,5241,5261,5251],"class_list":{"0":"post-24871","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-brand","7":"tag-brand-strategy","8":"tag-corporate-branding","9":"tag-rebranding","10":"tag-sears-tower","11":"tag-willis-holdings-group","12":"tag-willis-tower","13":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Rebranding a Landmark -- Chicago&#039;s Sears Tower is No More<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Sears Tower becomes the Willis Tower, named for Willis Holdings Group of London.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/rebranding-a-landmark-chicagos-sears-tower-is-no-more\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Rebranding a Landmark -- Chicago&#039;s Sears Tower is No More\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Sears Tower becomes the Willis Tower, named for Willis Holdings Group of London.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/rebranding-a-landmark-chicagos-sears-tower-is-no-more\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Corporate Eye\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:author\" content=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/susangunelius\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2009-07-22T01:43:15+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/sears_tower_chicago.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Susan Gunelius\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@susangunelius\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@lucynixon\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Susan Gunelius\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/rebranding-a-landmark-chicagos-sears-tower-is-no-more\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/rebranding-a-landmark-chicagos-sears-tower-is-no-more\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Susan Gunelius\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/#\/schema\/person\/a46ee0d1e91b41488959551cef624759\"},\"headline\":\"Rebranding a Landmark &#8212;
