Book Description
Welcome to the era of the Total Brand Experience! Award-winning designer and agency founder, Emma Carter, gives her expert insight into how to create a brand that goes beyond a simple logo, to make your organisation an unstoppable success. A brand doesn't start and stop with a logo. A brand encapsulates the entire personality of an organisation and communicates it to the outside world: your promise, visual identity, tone of voice, ethics and standards. In so many ways, the brand IS the business. In BEYOND THE LOGO, Emma shares the principles and techniques that she so successfully puts into practice for clients such as Jack Wills, Platinum Property Partners, Ted Baker and IconicShift, across multiple sectors, including retail, finance, technology, property and franchising. Far from being an academic text book, BEYOND THE LOGO is a practical plan of action for business owners and managers. Whether you're refreshing an existing identity or creating a completely new brand from scratch, this book guides you expertly through designing, deploying and promoting a brand that will take your business to new heights. " I love this book; it's engagingly written, nicely illustrated, cleverly interactive and full of passion and insight. It explains how a brand is not just about design and communication but is actually at the heart of what a business stands for and how it operates. It's a 'must read' if you own a business or you're in charge of a brand. Read this book before your competitors do!" Mike Harris, Founder of three iconic billion-pound brands: First Direct, Mercury Communications, and Egg

More than half-a-million business leaders have discovered the power of the StoryBrand Framework, created by New York Times best-selling author and marketing expert Donald Miller. And they are making millions. If you use the wrong words to talk about your product, nobody will buy it.

Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 171
Book Description
"When everybody zigs, zag," says Marty Neumeier in this fresh view of brand strategy. ZAG follows the ultra-clear "whiteboard overview" style of the author’s first book, THE BRAND GAP, but drills deeper into the question of how brands can harness the power of differentiation. The author argues that in an extremely cluttered marketplace, traditional differentiation is no longer enough—today companies need “radical differentiation” to create lasting value for their shareholders and customers. In an entertaining 3-hour read you’ll learn: - why me-too brands are doomed to fail - how to "read" customer feedback on new products and messages - the 17 steps for designing “difference” into your brand - how to turn your brand’s “onliness” into a “trueline” to drive synergy - the secrets of naming products, services, and companies - the four deadly dangers faced by brand portfolios - how to “stretch” your brand without breaking it - how to succeed at all three stages of the competition cycle From the back cover: In an age of me-too products and instant communications, keeping up with the competition is no longer a winning strategy. Today you have to out-position, out-maneuver, and out-design the competition. The new rule? When everybody zigs, zag. In his first book, THE BRAND GAP, Neumeier showed companies how to bridge the distance between business strategy and design. In ZAG, he illustrates the number-one strategy of high-performance brands—radical differentiation. ZAG is an AIGA Design Press book, published under Peachpit's New Riders imprint in partnership with AIGA. For a quick peek inside ZAG, go to www.zagbook.com.

Ten Years to Midnight

Pages : 162
Book Description
“Shows how humans have brought us to the brink and how humanity can find solutions. I urge people to read with humility and the daring to act.” —Harpal Singh, former Chair, Save the Children, India, and former Vice Chair, Save the Children International In conversations with people all over the world, from government officials and business leaders to taxi drivers and schoolteachers, Blair Sheppard, global leader for strategy and leadership at PwC, discovered they all had surprisingly similar concerns. In this prescient and pragmatic book, he and his team sum up these concerns in what they call the ADAPT framework: Asymmetry of wealth; Disruption wrought by the unexpected and often problematic consequences of technology; Age disparities--stresses caused by very young or very old populations in developed and emerging countries; Polarization as a symptom of the breakdown in global and national consensus; and loss of Trust in the institutions that underpin and stabilize society. These concerns are in turn precipitating four crises: a crisis of prosperity, a crisis of technology, a crisis of institutional legitimacy, and a crisis of leadership. Sheppard and his team analyze the complex roots of these crises--but they also offer solutions, albeit often seemingly counterintuitive ones. For example, in an era of globalization, we need to place a much greater emphasis on developing self-sustaining local economies. And as technology permeates our lives, we need computer scientists and engineers conversant with sociology and psychology and poets who can code. The authors argue persuasively that we have only a decade to make headway on these problems. But if we tackle them now, thoughtfully, imaginatively, creatively, and energetically, in ten years we could be looking at a dawn instead of darkness.
