I learnt a lot reading this book especially about branding. Though being written in Yahoo era, some of the predictions about convergence or Amazon were not right. But in nut shell everything else about branding is spot on and must read for everyone.. - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5

Truly awful. Desperately needs modernising, makes a lot of claims and predictions that have now been proved false, in a very meandering and over-thought way. Gems such as, you won't win unless you're first to the market and citing Yahoo! Search being the world's biggest search engine as the example, saying Amazon will never be successful expanding beyond books and music...Conveniently uses examples of things that prove his points and ignores ones that don't. Also packed with contradictions and pointless information such as the different prices of AOL packages from years ago.7 people found this helpful

This is an excellent introduction to branding, why it's important, and how to do it right. What I found most helpful was their emphasis on not complicating or diluting a brand; with new product extensions or as an umbrella for multiple lines and business units. The book is organized in quick chapters, each highlighting one law. Each chapter is also prefaced with a solid example. I read the 1998 version, and found their points even more credible based on the longevity of the brand cases they cited.1 person found this helpful

Good book that introduces you in a simple yet powerful way to the fundamental concepts of branding. It helps identify the pending tasks with the brands we are responsible for. (Translated from Spanish)
