The Truth about Creating Brands People Love

While accurately assessing the impact of marketing activities can be difficult, this book illustrates that the fundamental purpose of marketing is the maximization of margin. Everyone involved in sales should read this book.

This book peals back the secrets of how to make great brands. Filled with countless real life examples, it's an easy read. A great primer for the marketer just starting out or for the established manager who thinks he knows it all.

Very insightful book with serious "aha!" moments. I recommend this book for marketing professionals as a brush up on the fundamentals, but especially for the decision makers in any organization that think marketing is just conventional wisdom: Well, think again and read this book.

Brian Till and Donna Heckler have done a masterful job of uncovering the secrets of creating and sustaining brands people love in a short, concise and valuable manner. This book has insightful observations for all marketers from the person new to the marketing discipline to the experienced marketer, or business executive. The 51 "truths" offer up positive steps for the stewards of brands, as well as the pitfalls to avoid that diminish the value of brands.

I strongly recommend this book. I teach brand management and started using this book in my classes this semester. My students are really enjoying it so far. They enjoy the examples used and have commented on how much they love the format. The short two or three page "truths" do a great job of cramming a lot of teaching into short, quick spurts. The book content is also great. Managing brands is difficult, and the book skillfully covers all of the important topics in an easy to follow way. If branding is something important to you, take a second to consider buying this book!
