Review

"Keller's book is a rare success at combining practical advice and real substance. Further, there are a host of examples and five comprehensive case studies that provide a wealth of insight about brands and brand building. An excellent contribution." -- David Aaker, Professor of Marketing Strategy, "University of California at Berkeley," Author of Building Strong Brands "After reading Strategic Brand Management, my associations' with the Kevin Keller brand of marketing thinking: strong, favorable, and unique!

I've worked with Professor Keller for a decade or more, and our shared belief in the critical role of the brand in successful marketing strategies is beautifully played out in this brilliant text." -- Steve Goldstein, Vice President of Marketing and Research, "Levi's Brand U.S.A."

This is an exceptionally comprehensive treatment of the subject, full of valuable analytic and rich insights." -- Al Silk, Professor Emeritus, "Harvard Business School" "Keller understands that building a brand is both an art and a science. It's the strategic mix of focus and risk that gives a brand its meaning in people's lives." -- Liz Dolan, Vice President of Marketing Communication, "Nike, Inc." "Building a brand calls for more than building a brand image. The savvy company must build a continuous positive brand experience for its target customers, what others have called moments of truth. Kevin Keller should becongratulated for providing the latest and most comprehensive thinking that we have about the art and science of brand building." -- Philip Kotler, S.C. Johnson Distinguished Professor of International Marketing, Kellogg Graduate School of Management, "Northwestern University" "The successful care and feeding of a brand is an amazingly complex topic.

His experiences as consultant to some of the world's greatest brands, and as professor for several of the best business schools, have established a deep reservoir of insights. This book brings to surface the most relevant case studies for our time." -- Scott Bedbury, "CEO of Brandstream," author of A New Brand World "Strategic Brand Management, Second Edition, translates the complex science of branding into a practical manual of how to define, use, and promote brands. Kevin Keller's branding insights provide structure and definition to an area that, until recently, was ruled by emotion and opinion."-- Joanne Bischmann, Vice President of Marketing, "Harley-Davidson Motor Company" "Keller understands that to successfully build a brand, you must reach consumers on their terms. In other words the consumer is boss. Strategic Brand Management, Second Edition, offers compelling case studies and best practices that bring this to life." -- Jim Stengel, Global Marketing Officer, "Procter & Gamble" "Kevin Keller provides masterful insights into total branding . . . from the finesse of brand building to the financial impact of success." -- Michael Dolan "In an ever fragmenting media world where connecting with consumers with the same or less marketing resources is the norm, Keller's practical approach to constructing integrated marketing communication plans will help marketers squeeze every ounce of value from their advertising budgets." -- Jan Valentic
