Western Digital rebranded to WD on Feb 1, 2026. The name change landed alongside our Innovation Day in New York, where we laid out our path to 100TB+ hard drives and our HAMR technology plans, right after a strong Q2 that beat expectations with revenue up 25% year over year. All of that coming together at once mattered. It showed we’d actually become a different company, one built for AI-driven data growth rather than legacy storage. By the end of 2025 we’d joined the Nasdaq 100 and ranked among the top performers in the S&P 500.

We transformed how LinkedIn shows up globally by unifying our brand story across five businesses and activating employees and customers around a single, compelling proposition: LinkedIn is the network that works for you. The result was stronger brand equity and meaningful business impact — maintaining unaided awareness, increasing perceptions that LinkedIn helps people achieve goals faster (+4.84 points), driving a +4.9-point awareness lift among businesses, and delivering 3.3x ROI. We also significantly expanded Gen Z engagement through culturally relevant activations that drove millions of impressions and outperformed benchmark partnerships.

Today, more than 470,000 professionals have adopted it across our network, reinforcing Deloitte’s standing as the world’s strongest and most valuable professional services brand.

Global Marketing at Prologis evolved from a decentralized function into a strategic partner that helps drive growth and strengthen the business. We built a more connected marketing organization by simplifying our digital experience, adopting new technology and using data to make better decisions. By working closely with sales and business leaders, marketing became a stronger contributor to customer growth. We also refreshed the Prologis brand and expanded GROUNDBREAKERS into a leading executive forum that brings together business, investor and policy leaders.
