Format:Hardcover
It's so hard to find books on branding which aren't faddish, gimmicky, or written by wannabe-gurus, but I think this is definitely one of them. As the title suggests, it's a hard-headed business book about brands, and there aren't many of them about. It's also very readable, with plenty of stories and case studies, all written in a "no-nonsense" style. The two authors are both working at a major advertising agency, and you get the feeling this book has had some resources put behind it. It's obviously been thoroughly researched (the list of sources is valuable in its own right), although the book lacks for any specific guidance on further reading. Overall it's a thorough, useful "work-horse" of a book - probably it will find its place on people's shelves alongside well-thumbed brand classics such as Aaker.

I bought some books about this subject and, until now this is the best. Its clear, well structured and deep enough. It will be of good use in the future, as a reference.

This book presents a good, clear and concise case for brands and their importance in driving business value.
If you are a student of marketing or a marketer looking to make your case for brand investment at board level this is the book for you.
