"Head and shoulders better than my current text. I could build a full course around this text along with cases and outside readings and projects."

"The narrative mini-case studies humanize the subject and make theory and process real."

"The writing was very clear.  I believe students would find it an easy book to read and understand."

Athanasia Panos Schmitt
Gore School of Business, Westminster College

The book provides a very easy to understand, to the point introduction to modern brand management. The theory is illustrated with numerous examples. It is a wonderful introduction to the subject, also for people who have little previous experience.
