Organizations are forever pouring creative energy into their branding strategies, tweaking their logos and websites, and building identities that range from warm and fuzzy to ultracool and edgy. But many forget that a brand, at its heart, is a promise to deliver results. If your brand experience fails to live up to that promise, customers will take their business elsewhere.

Packed with proven, repeatable management practices, the audiobook shows you how to establish a sound, simple brand platform while avoiding the needless complexity that has tripped up many promising companies.
