Firstly this is not a big book. It is compact an rather 'espresso' on approach. But like a good espresso it is full of flavour and taste.
Beautifully illustrated and full of well-known examples, Wall Olins takes you through the key aspects of branding; each with plenty of examples.
In the 110 pages Wally talks about:
* What branding is about
* Making brands work
* Belief in branding
Each of the above is divided into a number of sub-sections which walk you through the issues and decisions associated with branding.
For me this book was an excellent reminder of why organisations work so hard to build and defend their brands. Not only does Wally tell us what's important, he also poses numerous questions for us to answer, each of which help us make decisions about brands.
If you are about to embark on a branding exercise or need to study branding or (like me) are just interested in brands then I would recommend this book as a great journey and insight into the brands we see each day.

Format:Hardcover
running a start-up company means that i dont have a large marketing budget, so i've read a number of books on branding and tried to implement their advice myself. i've not, till now, come across one that lends itself so well to dipping in and out of like a dictionary or a how-to guide. a lot of other books on the subject are very theoretical and contain advice that is usually aimed at Fortune 500 co's. not this one. while i'm sure that large corporations will be able to pick up some tricks here too, this book is suitable for smaller businesses as well.
the book is divided into two parts. the first is a narrative on how and why branding works. the second part is a step by step guide, that explains how to go about creating a strong brand for your company. my son recently borrowed the book for his marketing class at university and also found it helpful and easy to use. this handbook should make the life of entrepreneurs, marketing execs, academics and newcomers to the subject of branding a whole lot easier.

Easy to read, inexpensive and just spot on. I read this book very quickly and have to say that it's no nonsense approach in demystifying what a brand is well worth a read. It now lives on my desk as an essential part of my library.

Definitely not a "handbook"
I found the content of the book to be very poor, basic and superficial. The author simply touches upon the very basic of branding theory while he mentions nothing about the... Read more
