What's In A Name? (A Lot, But Also A Branding Opportunity)

What's In A Name? (A Lot, But Also A Branding Opportunity)

The KL Sentral LRT Station was officially rebranded to "KL Sentral redONE" LRT station, following a the recent partnership between redONE Network, and Prasarana. This is part of a five year station naming rights agreement between them, but it's made us ask: What value is there in a name, when it comes to public spaces? What happens when a place takes on a different name? We unpack these questions by first getting into the branding perspective. And then, how does changing the names of places change its history?
