Brand Leadership

ISBN: 074320767X
Author: David A Aaker
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Ltd
 
Closely watched by the stock market and obsessed over by the biggest companies, brand identity is the one indisputable source of sustainable competitive advantage, the vital key to customer loyalty. An expert in this burgeoning field, David Aaker now prepares managers for the next wave of the brand revolution. With co-author Erich Joachimsthaler, Aaker takes brand management to the next level – strategic brand leadership. The authors offer conceptualization of “brand architecture” – how multiple brands relate to each other – as well as insights on the new area of internet branding. The book uses case studies with brands that are competing on a cross-cultural landscape to illustrate the lessons in the pinnacles and the pit-falls of each.

Building Strong Brands

Find on
ISBN: 0743232135
Author: David A Aaker
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Ltd
 
As industries turn increasingly hostile, it is clear that strong brand-building skills are needed to survive and prosper. In Building Strong Brands, David Aaker picks apart the knot of concepts encasing brands to explore these valuable strategic assets and their deployment in a number of cases including Saturn, McDonald’s, Kodak, Smirnoff and General Electric. A common pit-fall of brand strategists is to focus on brand attributes. Aaker shows how to break out of the box by considering emotional and self-expressive benefits and by introducing the brand-as-person, brand-as-organisation, and brand-as-symbol perspectives. Aaker also demonstrates how to manage the brand system – the interweaving of many brands – to achieve clarity and synergy, to adapt to a changing environment, and to leverage brand assets into new markets and products.

Managing Brand Equity: Capitalizing of the Value of a Brand Name

Find on
ISBN: 0029001013
Author: David A Aaker
Publisher: Free Press
 
The most important assets of any business are intangible: its company name, brands, symbols, and slogans, and their underlying associations, perceived quality, name awareness, customer base, and proprietary resources such as patents, trademarks and channel relationships. These assets, which comprise brand equity, are a primary source of competitive advantage and future earnings, contends David Aaker, an international authority on branding. Yet, research shows that managers cannot identify with confidence their brand associations, level of consumer awareness, or degree of customer loyalty. Moreover, in the last decade, managers desperate for short-term financial results have often unwittingly damaged their brands through price promotions and unwise brand extensions, causing irreversible deterioration of the value of the brand name. Although several companies, such as Canada Dry and Colgate-Palmolive, have recently created an equity management position to be guardian of the value of brand names, far too few managers, Aaker concludes, really understand the concept of brand equity and how it must be implemented. In a fascinating and insightful examination of the phenomenon of brand equity, Aaker provides a clear and well-defined structure of the relationship between a brand and its symbol and slogan, as well as each of the five underlying assets, which will clarify for managers exactly how brand equity does contribute value. The author opens each chapter with a historical analysis of either the success or failure of a particular company’s attempt at building brand equity: the fascinating Ivory soap story; the transformation of Datsun to Nissan; the decline of Schlitz beer; the making of the Ford Taurus; and others. Finally, citing examples from many other companies, Aaker shows how to avoid the temptation to place short-term performance before the health of the brand and, instead, to manage brands strategically by creating, developing, and exploiting each of the five assets in turn.
