Highly Recommended!
Managing your brands as an asset is one of those obvious management priorities that becomes less obvious under the pressure of quarterly earnings. To a great extent, however, short-term numbers depend on the long-term positioning of your brands. Take a look at your organization. Is branding relegated to a department in your marketing division? If so, chances are your brand is being managed as a marketing tool rather than a corporate asset. Because the brand is the living relationship you have with your customers, it is critical that branding be elevated as a corporate priority. This book will show you how. We [...] recommend this excellent book to top executives looking to reposition a company's brands, marketing professionals who have charge of branding strategies, and for anyone whose business relies on the power of your brands.

The best in its category
I am a professional business book editor--not affiliated with the publisher. I had the opportunity to see an advance set of pages of this book. To sum up: I wish I had published it myself. Some books are good on theory or strategy but weak on implementation. Others are good on tactics but weak on overall conceptualization. This book is unusual because it delivers on both. And insofar as relevance is concerned, how many things are more important than your brand? Chapter 2 by itself is worth the price of the book. It gives you the tools for developing the overall big picture of your brand. But don't stop there. Every chapter gives sound advice on how manage your brand as an asset and practical guidance for putting all of your grand schemes into profitable action. Buy htis book.

A new concept? You're kidding me!
I find it surprising the way that some business authors claim that they are creating a brand new concept on how to manage something - in this case the brand, using the "Brand Asset Management" concept - when in fact they are only repackaging old and traditional concepts - in this case, marketing and brand concepts - and giving them fancy names (BrandPicture, BrandContract, etc). Don't be surprised if you feel as if you're reading your old marketing or brand management textbook in a new paperback format. It is as if Kotler had rejuvenated himself and lost some weight.There is absolutely nothing new on what the author proposes. From defining the "Brand Vision" to implementing it through communications, pricing, and channel strategy, the only positive someone can take out of this book is that it summarizes everything in 250 pages.
