Recommendation

David A. Aaker and Erich Joachimsthaler flex their marketing muscles in this exhaustive treatise on global brand creation. But although the authors clearly know an enormous amount about building the perfect branding campaign, their book suffers from a patina of academia that makes it read like a textbook. The book has a multitude of marketing insights to offer and it cites plenty of real-life business examples, so getAbstract thinks you’ll gain much by sticking with it if you are in marketing or public relations. But the next time the authors expound on their methods for making products memorable, accessible and likeable, we hope they spare a tender thought for their own worthy book.

Take-Aways

  • Brand management is rising to the level of brand leadership.
  • With brand leadership, companies move from tactical to strategic management.
  • Your company’s business strategy must guide its brand strategy, which must reflect its corporate culture.
