What a great book when we considering the materialistic and globalised culture and climate that we currently live in, it really is an eyeopener . I graduated with a BSc Hons in Business and Marketing and I am now studying towards my MBA (MSc) therefore I really liked delving into the whole strategic marketing and branding world and reading about it from angle of inside some of the large power companies. The book tells exactly what it like to have an authentic brand (Apple springs to mind). I highly recommend this book, really enjoyable read and well written by Karen Leland. Thanks to NetGalley and Entrepreneur Media Inc. for allowing me the opportunity to have an ARC - it is really helpful with my MBA, studies.

This is a relatively simple guide to help undertake a task that might not be as simple or clear as you may imagine, namely identifying, mapping and shaping your company’s brand.
Here the author mixes together a range of practical advice, industry best practice and experience to help business owners proactively create their brand, rather than haphazardly accept whatever tends to turn up through the course of regular operations. Clearly the best results may be achieved by starting from the beginning and mapping out a brand strategy, although there is scope for existing brands to be strengthened and slightly modified if necessary by taking elements of the advice. It leads to a clear, easy-to-understand yet powerful range of guidance.
Whilst the book is aimed clearly at senior executives, it still may be instructive for other employees to take at least a look and pick out some of the information on offer. It can enhance their existing knowledge and understanding of a key business element in general and the company’s eventual brand in particular. If you let it, the book will be a lot more than what it promises on its cover!
It is a thoughtful, considered read that deserves at least one sequential consultation, even though you will inevitably be visiting it frequently as you work on your brand. It also encourages additional reading and external research – the world is literally your oyster. The price point for this book, when you consider what you get, is amazing too. A book, in other words, that should be strongly considered.
