The Fundamentals of Branding

'An excellent overview of the subject - much needed in an area not usually so entertainingly expressed on the written page.' Martin Dawber, Liverool John Moores University, UK. 'Great book, covers the nature of branding in a diverse way without being shallow. Exciting visuals and case studies. Relevant to our fashion course ... Much less dry than most branding/marketing textbooks!' Tiina Burton, Cambridge School of Visual and Performing Arts, UK. 'I think this is a great entry level book to Branding. It is clearly written and explains the complexities of Branding language and its strategic importance very well.' Ashley Rudolph, University College Falmouth, UK. 'An excellent addition to current titles available on the subject. It's very contemporary in terms of both its case studies and knowledge of current trends and market requirements. It's also very well designed in terms of layout and presentation of information, making it very accessible - even to today's 'I don't do books' generation of undergraduates.' Dave Caton, Swindon College, UK.
