American technology company Brightstar has announced a complete rebranding of its company to 'Likewize,' a decision made to highlight its transition from a mobile phone distributor to a comprehensive tech protection and service provider. Under its new name, the company intends to build out a service that will make "people's technology problems painless," by offering complete protection against any technology disruption.
The company rebrand also comes as a result of it receiving approximately $1 billion in global funding, which included the acquisition of tech repair companies LucidCX and WeFix. Now, Likewize is set to offer the world's most comprehensive tech protection services, which include tech insurance, tech renewals, expert tech support, device recycling, and more. Of course, a stand-out feature for the company is its "anywhere repair" services, which provide customers options for both mail-in repairs and "come to you" repairs.
