By Jonathan Kettleborough VINE™ VOICE
Format:Hardcover
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bang on branding 12 May 2010
Format:Hardcover
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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Definitely not a "handbook" 22 Aug 2008
Format:Hardcover
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 creative part of it. And suspiciously enough, he repeatedly stresses how important it is to hire consultants "to do the job".
