Very good read

It was quite interesting to listen. I only wonder if he could have used examples from more companies, it seems like the same companies are mentioned over and over again. But it's good information for Advertising professionals.

Sparked a lot of ideas

The book sparked a lot of ideas. definitely worth a listen. very knowledgeable on the subject and how it's changing.

Very knowledgeable

Great book now I will buy printed one so I can make notes. Very exciting

The holy grail of branding books

This is the book I e been searching for. No bulls*** and high level views of what is important!

Digital marketers NEED to absorb this title and it’s recommendations.

one of my favorite books on branding I've read so

there isn't a whole lot of selection when it comes to books on branding specifically. this seems to be a lot on marketing and business in general, obviously. but this book really highlights the things I was looking to hear about.

Enjoyable and Slightly Mindblowing

This book covered a lot of topics and ideas that I'll find very useful in guiding my marketing and design career. Coming at it from a graphic design perspective...opened me up to many ideas. Listened to it almost straight through.

Killer read for any serious brand marketer!

Killer read for any serious brand marketer!
Put these strategies and templates to work and build any brand you want.

Straight up, in your mouth, solid brand advice.

I found the advice and explanations by the author of this book to be on-point and powerful examples in creating a deeper attachment between a product or service and it’s customers. I’m 20 years in the Ad & Brand Market business (built Williamsburg | Brooklyn starting back in 2000) and still walked away with a handful of great tools from this book. I loved, loved loved it! — Breuk Iversen (12/2020)

Great book- essential branding guide

Loved this book- brought branding to its essence in an easy to follow and implement way. Should be in every marketers library.

Great book! Buy the physical copy to maximize

I listened some and returned them, but this was on point! I plan to get the physical book so that I can go through and find the techniques instead of listening to them. strongly recommend.
