Week Five

WEDNESDAY –
Today we had our formative assessment; we presented our findings so far to the tutors. After speaking to the tutors for a while explaining our ideas and thoughts for rebranding Boy London as a group we thought it would be better to choose a different brand because the tutors highlighted possible issues we may face because we have found little quantitative research about Boy London failing, our research so far was based more on qualitative research that we gathered from our Shoreditch research.

We thought about what other brands we could focus on, therefore using resources online like LSN Global and articles, we noticed that brand Bench has recently been failing highlighted by the following:
1.    Benchs’ owner Americana had a fall in profits of £24m
2.    Last year their revenue fell from £147m to £125.2m
3.    Staff levels dropped from 560 to 405 year on year
4.    Bench closed all major stores only focusing on outlet stores

5.    Couldn’t keep up with competitors
