Building Strong Brands

by David A. Aaker

On This Page

Description

As industries turn increasingly hostile, it is clear that strong brand-building skills are needed to survive and prosper. In David Aaker's book, Managing Brand Equity, managers discovered the value of a brand as a strategic asset and a company's primary source of competitive advantage. Now, in this compelling new work, Aaker uses real brand-building cases from Saturn, General Electric, Kodak, Healthy Choice, McDonald's, and others to demonstrate how strong brands have been created and managed.

Yes, it's a marketing book, get over it. There's some fascinating stuff in this book, which gives a great incite into the world of global branding and marketing. A lot of the content is actually just common sense, but it is very clearly spelled out here - maybe too clearly in places, it's not always necessary to provide an example, a bullet point diagram and an explanation for each point. The book suffers a little towards the end when it starts talking about more specific cases which unless you're brand manager for Pepsi, you probably don't care about. It would also have been nice if the examples weren't all US and they weren't all 10 years out of date, but then the book can't magically update itself I suppose. A very well written and show more very interesting introduction to the field. show less
A dense read - very detailed - but alienates beginners or those with a passing interest.
