Recommendation

Brand experts Wolfgang Schaefer and J.P. Kuehlwein interviewed industry leaders, experts and brand specialists, and analyzed more than 100 case studies to identify seven principles that “Ueber-Brands” follow to dominate the redefined prestige landscape. The German authors use the Anglicized version of “über,” which means “above and beyond” in German. Though this is not an especially easy or quick read, their insights and sardonic tone will keep you turning the pages. Their summary of premium branding rules and the case studies at the end of each chapter will help you digest the lessons. getAbstract considers this work essential reading for anyone working in the premium sector.

Take-Aways

  • Luxury brands are evolving beyond traditional premium models and now set new standards and expectations. Premium brands adhere to seven principles:
  • First, they commit to an uncompromising mission.
  • Second, they make consumers “long to belong” by promising entrée to something unique.
