Publisher's summary
The best-selling guide to the role of brands and brand building
Although the balance sheet may not even put a value on it, a company's brand or its portfolio of brands is in many cases its most valuable asset, accounting for as much as 70% of a firm's market value in some cases. This book argues that because of this and because of the power of not-for-profit brands like Oxfam, all organisations should make the brand their central organising principle, guiding every action and decision.
Divided into three parts and written by 18 experts on the subject, this fully revised and updated guide to brands and branding examines the case for brands, outlines best practice and the future for brands. It includes chapters on brand valuation, what makes a brand great, brand strategy, brand experience, visual and verbal identity, brand communications, brand protection and new chapters on branding in India and brands in a digital world.
Rita Clifton is chairman of Interbrand, a global brand consultancy. The other contributors come from a wide range of organisations with extensive expertise in brands and branding.

A business's overall strategy may be set at board level, but many people throughout the organisation will be involved in deciding that strategy and implementing it - making decisions that are strategic in nature. On these decisions hangs the future of the business: how successful it is, even whether it is successful. Yet business history is full of strategic decisions, both big and small, that were weak, poorly conceived and consequently disastrous.

Developing and implementing a strategy is the central task of a leader. A good strategy is a specific and coherent response to - and approach for - overcoming the obstacles to progress. A good strategy works by harnessing and applying power where it will have the greatest effect. Yet, Rumelt shows that there has been a growing and unfortunate tendency to equate Mom-and-apple-pie values, fluffy packages of buzzwords, motivational slogans, and financial goals with “strategy”.

Editorial reviews
A useful volume of essays examining the social and economic importance of brands, best practices for managing them, methodologies for valuing them, predictions for their future, and more. The collection benefits from a host of writers, a global perspective, and a focus on the history of brands as well as their future. Performer Christopher Oxford narrates in a clear, authoritative voice with a dignified-sounding English accent. Likely to be an extremely useful introductory volume for business students and others trying to wrap their heads around the all-important world of brands and associated concepts.

Story
Imagine running a business without a strategy. It would be akin to driving blindfolded, to building a house without a blueprint. The concept of strategy changed all that, paving the way for the creation of the modern corporate world. The Lords of Strategy provides listeners with a deeper understanding of the world they compete in, and a sharper eye for what works — and what doesn’t — when forging strategy.

Story
As venture capitalist Alexandre Lazarow shows in this insightful and instructive book, this Silicon Valley "gospel" is due for a refresh - and it comes from what he calls the "frontier", the growing constellation of startup ecosystems, outside of the Valley and other major economic centers, that now stretches across the globe. The frontier is a truly different world where startups often must cope with political or economic instability and lack of infrastructure, and where there might be little or no access to angel investors, venture capitalists, or experienced employee pools.

Very good, expansive and actionable look at brands
This is a collection of essays on brands and the practice of branding by more than a dozen experts with international business experience. The book was published in the early 2000's, and was ahead of its time then, with the concepts becoming more familiar as time moves ahead and branding becomes more important for all types of organizations. The heavy British accent of the narrator may be annoying at times, but the information is worth multiple listenings of this audio production.

Brands and Branding
An excellent go-to book on this topic with lots of relatable examples. I don’t think this is a one-time read. It’s a reference book to go back to every so often to refresh one’s knowledge and understanding of brands and branding
