Learn to build, nurture, and grow a strong brand that inspires people, forges emotional bonds, and moves customers to insist on buying your brand. This book guides you through the entire branding process, from using social media effectively to linking your brand to human needs." -- Advertising Educational Foundation (aef.com)
"There are literally dozens of flags marking pages in my copy of Brand Aid. Pick up a copy, and it will undoubtedly look the same in short order. Brand Aid functions equally well as a troubleshooter for underperforming, established brands, and as a toolkit for launching new brands destined for legendary status." -- brandingclass.com
