Paperback
Publisher: Peachpit Press

  • ISBN13: 9780321348104
  • Condition: NEW
  • Notes: Brand New from Publisher. No Remainder Mark.

  • THE BRAND GAP is the first book to present a unified theory of brand-building.  Whereas most books on branding are weighted toward either a strategic or creative approach, this book shows how both ways of thinking can unite to produce a “charismatic brand”—a brand that customers feel is essential to their lives. In an entertaining two-hour read you’ll learn:

    • the new definition of brand
    • the five essential disciplines of brand-building
    • how branding is changing the dynamics of competition
    • the three most powerful questions to ask about any brand
    • why collaboration is the key to brand-building
    • how design determines a customer’s experience
    • how to test brand concepts quickly and cheaply
    • the importance of managing brands from the inside
    • 220-word brand glossary

    From the back cover:
    Not since McLuhan’s THE MEDIUM IS THE MESSAGE has a book compressed so many ideas into so few pages. Using the visual language of the boardroom, Neumeier presents the first unified theory of branding—a set of five disciplines to help companies bridge the gap between brand strategy and customer experience. Those with a grasp of branding will be inspired by the new perspectives they find here, and those who would like to understand it better will suddenly “get it.” This deceptively simple book offers everyone in the company access to “the most powerful business tool since the spreadsheet.”

    EXCELENT TOOL FOR A BRAND MANAGER
    Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 
    It's a book that because of the way it's written allows the reader to have fun and learn quickly about little things that will either help you grow or avoid a huge problem on branding or future brands. Very easy to read.
    You'll finish the book before you get bored.

    Anyone trying to look for a Marketing Crash Course on branding should read this book.

    Great read
    Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 
    This book was not only fun to read but it provided you with all the core information you need to know about Brand Management.

    Easy to read, tons of useful information
    Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 
    As a former student of David A. Aaker's, I've been lucky enough to have gotten insights into branding from one of the best in the field. When I saw that he recommended Marty Neumeier's Brand Gap and ZAG books, I decided to check them out. I was not disappointed!

    This book is wonderfully designed, easy to read, and jammed full of useful insights and lessons. If you are new to branding this book will get you started on the right foot, but even marketing and brand management veterans will find plenty to get the creative/marketing/strategic juices flowing.

    Quick, efficient overview
    Customer Rating: 4 out of 5 
    I really liked this book. Marty Neumeier knows how to make his point in a way that's entertaining, gets to the heart of the issue right away, and has enough useful information to be credible. There isn't anything here that a marketing professional hasn't already heard before, but even so I enjoyed it immensely. While other books on this subject drone endlessly on with long, elaborate explanations, The Brand Gap is an easy read that applies to any kind of business. Recommended reading for anyone serious about marketing or advertising.

    Chinese Meal
    Customer Rating: 3 out of 5 
    This is a very basic book on branding, and an extremely quick read. If you have a 2-hour plane ride, you'll finish the book prior to landing. That being said, the book is worth reading as a quick review of some basic branding techniques. It is very much like a Chinese meal. When you first read it, you'll walk away feeling great. But a few days later, you won't really remember a whole lot from the book, and you'll be hungry again for more brand knowledge.
