From the Inside Flap

"Every time an employee gets to touch a customer or a customer gets to touch the brand, that company gets the opportunity to either reinforce its brand promise or totally denigrate it."

In Building the Brand-Driven Business, authors Scott M. Davis and Michael Dunn— two of the nation's foremost experts on brands— map out a strategy that can help an entire organization manage and live (not just think about) its brand. They show how to develop brand-building programs that are the most cost efficient, effective, and credible. And just as vital, they reveal how to create a brand-driven culture within an organization so that building the brand becomes everyone's job.

Building the Brand-Driven Business shows how to recognize all of the touchpoints that affect the brand and how to take control of those touchpoints, whether at pre-purchase, during the purchase, or post-purchase.

Filled with illustrative examples and case studies from many of the world's leading brands companies, such as Eastman Kodak, Bell South, General Electric, Xerox, and VISA, Building the Brand-Driven Business clearly demonstrates how to bring a brand to life and increase the bottom line.
