Brand Storming: Managing Brands in the Era of Complexity

The brand has pervaded the entire field of human existence, filled every corner of the planet -- even the most remote ones -- and it has moved its front line well beyond the areas of competence it traditionally inhabited. In today's society, the brand must satisfy a multitude of expectations. We have witnessed a revolution in the way consumers relate to a product; consumers are increasingly tending to reject brands which offer over-extensive lines in favour of those which are able to offer ideas, creativity, meanings and a lifestyle.

A brand must provide the answers to anxieties and desires, promoting itself as a 'compass' with which to navigate today's complex society. This book proposes a refinement of the brand's role in the new millennium. Brand Storming sets out to provide a guide for business people to meet consumer expectations.

The book also helps business managers and students to understand the principles of branding.
