Why you should read The Case for B2B Branding

How do you make a consumer feel good about a light bulb? General Electric did it by building its brand identity around trust. When customers attribute such personality traits to a corporation and its brand, that attachment translates into millions of dollars in revenues. This is why corporate positioning and brand building is so important, yet powerful branding remains as elusive as the marketing Holy Grail. Author and branding expert Bob Lamons’ road map to building your brand is a very usable resource for navigating your way to a brand strategy that works. Lamons breaks down the brand-building process step-by-step, from wooing management to finding a position to measuring the results. He avoids market-speak and illustrates his points with motivational anecdotes and case histories from business-to-business companies with successful brands. Lamons does seem to concentrate more on branding and less on B2B, but getAbstract.com feels this would be a welcome, well-used addition to any marketing professional’s resource library.
