Brand Babble: Sense and
Nonsense about Branding is about both the "good news" and the "bad news" of
branding. And, it's vitally important to the success of your business. As long-time
branding authors, educators, and investigators, the Schultz's explode an array of myths
that have been passing and passed on as "branding wisdom." They show that a brand will
not rescue a flawed business concept, is not owned by one group or individual, nor does it
depend on "media-by-the-ton" spending. The authors show how every successful brand is
the sum of relationships between buyer and seller and explain how marketers best
communicate with their customers through an integrated approach that reflects the nature
of that relationship. Those approaches sets the stage for value-based branding that
delivers the best value proposition to customers and increases the bottom-line, financial
value of the brand to the organization and its owners and shareholders. That, today, is
the "currency" of value-based branding. Getting to it is merely a matter of cutting
through all the Brand Babble, all the nonsense about brands and branding that is posing as
new marketing insight. This book will be the essential ingredient in more insightful,
easier, and, most important, more profitable branding work for both your company and your
customers.
