Product Description

Product Description

"Jon and Andy lay out a road-map for great brand management, packed with

the essentials of brand theory and practical tips to make it happen. It does

for brand management what the Haynes workshop manuals do for cars."

 

Peter Gowers, Chief Executive, InterContinental Hotels Group, Asia-Pacific

 

"Brands are about difference and personality. This book really is different. It makes you think and makes you smile!"

 

Peter Fisk, The Genius Works

 

"Branding isn't rocket science but it sometimes pretends to be. Here's abook without such pretensions, a book to make you smile, learning while you smile."

 

John Simmons, Director, The Writer

 

"an enjoyable read full of practical tips. There is far too much jargon in business generally and in branding and communications in particular, this book is an entertaining antidote to that"

Mike Lee, OBE, CEO Vero Communications

Humorous, practical and everything you need to know about branding.

This is a different kind of business book. You will find no jargon or dense, theory-laden text.

 

Building a brand with impact is one of the most important tasks that any business faces. Few people understand how to actually go about creating an effective brand. This book is a no holds barred guide to what brand building is, what it isn’t and exactly what you have to do to build your brand.

 

Be inspired by real-life stories from the people who did and didn’t mess with their logo and succeeded or failed as a result. Read the stories from big-name brands like Orange, M&S, Red Bull, Apple, Innocent, PwC and FCUK.

 

There are numerous brand books but they either fall into the dull, worthy and theoretical which nobody reads or they tell case studies of famous brands which are soon out of date and which do not easily translate into practical advice. This book is unashamedly the antidote to that. It will tell you all you need to know about branding and entertain you at the same time.

Format:Paperback
I've read all Andy Milligan's stuff and he always writes both entertainingly and knowledgably about brands. This book takes that all a step further. The book will be of use to anyone in charge of a brand - so anyone in business for themsleves right the way through to the guardians of global enterprises. There are loads of original thoughts on brand differentiation with none of the awful jargon that normally accompanies this subject. If you like people who talk incessantly about 'marketing optimization' or 'new brand paradigms' or who wax lyrical with inpenetrable brand bollocks, don't buy this book. If you like your business books to make you smile and stimulate in plain English, Andy Milligan will do just that. I really enjoyed the book and learnt a lot in to the bargain.

Format:Paperback
As someone new to Branding, I thought the book was full of useful, relevant examples - Dyson, O2, Virgin, BA. From trademarking to customer service the book covers the branding basics in a humourous and engaging way.

A gem of a book! 14 Aug 2009
Format:Paperback
I've found this gem of a book has top drawer advice from a seasoned professional. It's refreshing to get such practical and insightful advice from a guy who's clearly done some great brand marketing! It helps you avoid all the pitfalls and take better decisions that lead to real results. Definitely worth a read!
