NEW YORK, March 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Verse Group is releasing a new
report on best practices for branding corporate spin-offs. The report shows
how companies can increase financial valuation by incorporating branding at
key points in the spin-off process. It helps companies avoid common pitfalls,
providing a simple checklist of considerations and examples of how other
companies have made spin-offs successful.
"What do Cadbury-Schweppes, InterActiveCorp, Motorola and Time-Warner all
have in common? They are all spinning-off large divisions in an effort to
unlock shareholder value," says Randall Ringer, Co-founder and Chief Strategic
Officer of Verse Group. "Each of them will be facing important branding
decisions. This report will help them avoid being blind-sided."
The new report is entitled "The ABCs of branding spin-offs." It is based
on the Verse Group's expertise in branding spin-offs. The team's experience
includes branding Travelport for Cendant Corporation, NXP Semiconductors for
Philips Electronics (NYSE: PHG), Dex Media for Qwest (NYSE: Q) and Terra for
Telefonica (NYSE: TEF). This branding experience has led to the creation of
the basic principles outlined in this paper.
Michael Thibodeau, Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of Verse Group
says, "Forward-looking companies will want to include branding as part of
their spin-off calculations -- no one wants to leave money on the table."
The new report is available on the Verse Group website,
www.versegroup.com.
