Brand Management is a very diverse area, there are different approaches, perspectives, models. Besides, it also touches lot of disciplines like Marketing and Graphic Design.
As a lecturer on Brand Management, I found it hard to navigate among the corpus, and selecting the most readable sources, authors, and models for undergraduate students. Also, i wanted something that combined academic theory with real world perspective. I think this book has got it, and i'll recommend it to my students.
