An especial focus is placed on how founder and employee traits such as reputation can be managed into the start-up company brand. Branding and rebranding are processes that most organizations have to go through at some point of their life cycle, regardless of their size.

While the case company is a singular example of a start-up on a very specific field, certain conclusions can be drawn. Though limited to the case company, the success in brand design and branding activities through brand orientation and brand identity development can be assumed to be applicable to other start-ups either in the Finnish market or in the technology service industry. ...
