This document has been developed for the repositioning of a social club in Nigeria.
Change is the only constant factor in life. The socio-cultural, political and economic contexts within which Ivory League of Progress was established over 2 decades ago have changed.
The Club has entered a stage in its lifecycle, where decline has to be arrested and a new lease of life injected -call it Rebirth, Rebranding, Repositioning, Rejuvenation, etc. There is a need to inject life into the club and make it more vibrant

2. Why Rebrand?
Change is the only constant factor in life. The socio-
cultural, political and economic contexts within
which Ivory League of Progress was established over
2 decades ago have changed.
The Club has entered a stage in its lifecycle, where
decline has to be arrested and a new lease of life
injected -call it Rebirth, Rebranding, Repositioning,
Rejuvenation, etc
There is a need to inject life into the club and make
it more vibrant
3. 2. Positioning
What does the club mean to members & non-members: In other words, what position should the
ILP brand occupy in people’s minds? When you mention Ivory League of Progress, what thoughts
and feelings should the brand conjure?
Note: The club’s positioning should also be reflected in its motto. There is a need for a club motto
1. Vision & Mission
Current Vision Statement: To promote the material and spiritual well-being of members and
impact positively on the Society
Note: the above is more of a mission statement. Our vision statement should say what we want
to be in the next 5 or 10 years? Need to adopt present vision as mission statement and thereafter
develop a a new vision statement re-craft vision and decide on mission.
3. Logo
Need to develop new logo: Present logo is moribund and a new logo is desirable
Note: 1.) Present logo appears flat and not trendy/contemporary 2.) The fact that membership
must be drawn from the ivory tower does not dictate that ivory should be included in logo
3.) According to observations, present logo appears cultic or tribal.
