Brands have never been more important than they are today.
As Paul Temporal explains in this fully revised and updated third edition of his classic bestseller, the challenges of the business world are greater now than ever before. Brand managers have to cope with a broader range of variables and pressures from the marketplace and consumers. The lifeline of a strong brand can mean the difference between success and failure, or survival and extinction, in this turbulent environment.
But what constitutes a strong brand? How should it be developed and managed? How do you activate and manage a winning brand strategy? <i>Advanced Brand Management</i> is the indispensable guide that provides all the answers.
Paul Temporal addresses every issue related to brand management in the 21st century, providing the background theory and illustrating this with thoughtful case studies from across the business world.
In this third edition, all chapters have been updated, and a completely new chapter is included on the growth of the digital world and the use of the Internet. Throughout, there is an increased emphasis on brand strategy and updates to case studies, with entirely new cases being added.

Before you can influence decisions, you need to understand what drives them. In <i>The Choice Factory</i>, Richard Shotton sets out to help you learn.
By observing a typical day of decision-making, from trivial food choices to significant work-place moves, he investigates how our behaviour is shaped by psychological shortcuts. With a clear focus on the marketing potential of knowing what makes us tick, Shotton has drawn on evidence from academia, real-life ad campaigns and his own original research.
<i>The Choice Factory</i> is written in an entertaining and highly-accessible format, with 25 short chapters, each addressing a cognitive bias and outlining simple ways to apply it to your own marketing challenges. Supporting his discussion, Shotton adds insights from new interviews with some of the smartest thinkers in advertising, including Rory Sutherland, Lucy Jameson and Mark Earls.
From priming to the pratfall effect, charm pricing to the curse of knowledge, the science of behavioural economics has never been easier to apply to marketing.
<i>The Choice Factory</i> is the new advertising essential.
We are constantly being told that we are on the cusp of a cashless society. The financial services industry would certainly like to see it that way. We are being enticed with contactless cards, mobile phone payment apps, and methods of bank transfer: all, apparently, for our convenience.
But as Ross Clark argues in this compelling new book, it is not in our interests to surrender the right to use cash. Commercial interests want us to pay electronically in order to collect valuable data on our spending habits, while governments would love us to move to cashless payments in order to control the economy in ways which suit them, not us.
If we choose to pay electronically, that is one thing, but we will regret it if we do not defend the right to pay with cash.
