Amazon.co.uk Review
As it becomes increasingly associated with impressive corporate gains realised in recent years by companies ranging from Virgin and Rolex to Daewoo and Volvo, "branding" has developed into one of the marketing world's hottest concepts. And for good reason, contend well- known strategist Al Ries and his daughter Laura Ries in The 22 Immutable Laws of Branding: How to Build a Product or Service into a World-Class Brand.

"Marketing is building a brand in the mind of the prospect," they write. "If you can build a powerful brand you will have a powerful marketing programme. If you can't, then all the advertising, fancy packaging, sales promotion and public relations in the world won't help you achieve your objective." A no-holds-barred look at a diverse collection of successful--and not-so- successful-- branding efforts undertaken by a number of high-profile firms, their book distills the most critical principles involved into a series of clear rules with straightforward titles such as "The Law of Expansion", "The Law of Contraction", "The Law of Consistency", and "The Law of Mortality". While some of their suggestions may at first seem counterintuitive, together they compose a logical blueprint for success in today's ever-more-competitive environment. --Howard Rothman, Amazon.com

From the Author
Branding is the future of business.
Our book shatters the conventional wisdom of brand development. We lay down the laws that can make the difference between success and failure in the marketplace for your brand. We answer questions like: Which is more important Advertising or PR? Should we line extend? How important is quality? What color and shape should our logo be? Do we go global? When do we let a brand die? How often do we change our slogan? Should we block competitors from entering our market? Do we promote the category or our brand? What should we name our brand?
