Most Helpful Customer Reviews
By Rolf Dobelli TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
Accurate positioning, target marketing, and sharp visuals and design are not new branding concepts, yet digital media alter how they function. Branding expert Catherine Kaputa realigns the basics of branding to incorporate the game-changing influences of digital media. She covers business and personal branding extensively, presenting relatable - if disconnected - case stories of über-successes such as Zappos and Apple. Her useful and engaging, though fragmented, report reaches beyond the normal range of case studies to include Red Bull and Whole Foods. getAbstract recommends Kaputa's lively saga to entrepreneurs, small-business owners and anyone with a great business idea.

5.0 out of 5 stars Standing Out 25 July 2012
By J. Tian - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Catherine Kaputa delivers the goods. Her concepts of self-branding are thought provoking, and her ideas on how to implement them are even better.

The author goes into ways to differentiate yourself and stand out in person and virtually on the Internet through your website, blog or on social media like Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.

The keys are to be different, relevant and consistent at every touchpoint.

5.0 out of 5 stars Branding A to Z 22 Oct 2012
By David Bellman - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I very much enjoyed reading Catherine's book Breakthrough Branding. I am about to launch my own product in the coming months and I will use her book to guide me through the entire process. I have read many books on branding and business over the years however this book is one of only two books i will constantly keep by my side as I move forward. The book is packed with useful ideas and I will be applying as many of her ideas as I can in the coming months.
