Since the 1980s, brands and the management of brands have attracted an enormous amount of interest. Companies have become acutely aware of how their brand image could mean the difference between success and failure. This book gives an insight into this phenomenon, moving from the history of the brand to how to develop, manage and protect brands. The text focuses on a decision-making approach to the subject, structured around the decisions a brand or product manager would face when considering their own brand strategy, covering topics such as design, judicial protection, adverse publicity and financial-brand valuation. This book should be of particular interest to both undergraduate and postgraduate students studying for a general marketing qualification as well as those specializing in Brand Management, Product Branding or Corporate Image/Branding. It will also be of benefit to marketing and advertising practitioners and CIM students.

publications on branding ever produced. There is nothing like it in terms
of subject breadth and depth. It is a must for undergraduates studying specialist
marketing degrees or postgraduates and higher degree students", Richard West,
consultant and Visiting Lecturer, Westminster Business School, University
of Westminster. "The text is packed full of up to date material including
numerous cases on individual companies that reflect contemporary practice

Ltd, Castle Eden and Chief Examiner, Institute of Sales and Marketing Management.
