Title: human branding starts here
Review: In the face of a great deal of "No Logo" brand hostility, it's good to see a response which paves the way for brands with more sensitivity and imagination. Have to admit that I picked this up in Europe because I liked the cover, but 4D proved to be an engaging and useful guide to more emotional branding. More process than puff, this is the best of the recent cluster of branding books, and shows that branding demands a commitment to imagination, innovation, responsibiliy and values. As Brit, Richard Branson (a walking brand if ever I saw one) says in the Foreword, "It is easy to be cynical about such things, but much harder to be successful." 200 pages less so now. Gad shares an enthusiasm and coherent approach to this stuff with Jesper Junde, who wrote Corporate Religion (the orange book!).
