Now in paperback, this powerful and practical guide to brand building is offered by a man who helped propel Nike and Starbucks beyond mere sneakers and coffee.

With illuminating anecdotes from his own in-the-trenches experiences and dozens of case studies of other winning–and failed–branding efforts (including Harley-Davidson, Guinness, The Gap, and Disney), Bedbury offers practical, battle-tested advice for keeping any business at the top of its game.
