It helps you develop a set of features unique to your business, like a logo and brand name, which allows customers to come to know your brand and associate it with what you have to offer. Branding is impactful in and of itself, but co-branding brings additional opportunities and benefits to businesses that engage in it.

It can be difficult (if not impossible) to create a brand that remains fresh, relevant, and inspiring years — or even decades — post-creation. Just consider Dunkin' Donuts: the brand, first established in 1973, recently shifted its focus to coffee — and, to demonstrate the shift, dropped the 'Donuts' in the name. The rebrand makes sense. Dunkin's consumers' preferences, tastes, and style have likely changed quite a bit in the roughly 50 years since the first Dunkin' was introduced.
