Rezzer Rewind

What’s in a name?

Contrary to Shakespeare’s iconic line, names matter. 

In 2020, the consultancy founded under Katz, Sapper & Miller decided it was time for an identity all its own.

On this episode of Rezzer Rewind, rebrand pioneer Mary Catharine Grau shares why the Resultant brand...

When you read about M&A in the news, it usually comes across as very “spreadsheety.” Black and white. Hard numbers. Dollar signs.

But the headlines only tell one side of the story.

Who doesn’t love a good plot twist?

Mark Caswell’s story has a few.
