Scott M. Davis, Michael Dunn, David Aaker (Foreword by)
In Building the Brand-Driven
Business, authors Scott M. Davis and Michael Dunn two of the nation's foremost experts on
brands map out a strategy that can help an entire organization manage and live (not just
think about) its brand. They show how to develop brand-building programs that are the most
cost efficient, effective, and credible. And just as vital, they reveal how to create a
brand-driven culture within an organization so that building the brand becomes everyone's
job.
