Twilio used to read like a company built for developers and nobody else. Then it found one word that made every audience feel like they belonged to the same tribe.Adam Morgan, VP of Brand and Creative at Twilio, spent three months finding that word "builder" and watched it turn a stalled rebrand into what he calls lightning in a bottle. He explains why most companies chase logos and color palettes before they've earned the right to, and why brand resurgence isn't a reaction to AI fear — it's AI's actual byproduct.
