Book Description
After two and a half decades of researching and advocating the power of the corporate brand as a marketing tool, James R. Gregory tackles head-on the age-old question that has baffled CEOs and corporate communicators alike: What is the power of a corporate brand and can it be measured? Gregory begins by noting that years of acquisitions, mergers, and restructuring have made many executives realize the need to rebuild the reputations and identities of their corporate brands with critical audiences. The key to meeting that need, as this book makes clear, begins with the understanding that the value of corporate brand communications is real and can be measured. In leading the reader through the logic of his research, Gregory identifies: How to use objective, quantitative methods to measure and leverage the value of a company's name How to use corporate branding programs to maximize the bottom-line financial impact of a company's advertising and corporate communications How to achieve a powerful corporate brand by developing integrated corporate communications programs How companies of all sizes can implement corporate branding programs through spinoffs, advocacy marketing, and the new interactive media The essential role of the CEO in the corporate branding process "Leveraging the Corporate Brand" provides long-awaited insights--with practical applications--into measuring and valuing the impact of your corporate brand on your bottom line.

Book Description
In this long-awaited book from the world’s premier brand expert and author of the seminal work Building Strong Brands, David Aaker shows managers how to construct a brand portfolio strategy that will support a company’s business strategy and create relevance, differentiation, energy, leverage, and clarity. Building on case studies of world-class brands such as Dell, Disney, Microsoft, Sony, Dove, Intel, CitiGroup, and PowerBar, Aaker demonstrates how powerful, cohesive brand strategies have enabled managers to revitalize brands, support business growth, and create discipline in confused, bloated portfolios of master brands, subbrands, endorser brands, cobrands, and brand extensions. Renowned brand guru Aaker demonstrates that assuring that each brand in the portfolio has a clear role and actively reinforces and supports the other portfolio brands will profoundly affect the firm’s profitability. Brand Portfolio Strategy is required reading not only for brand managers but for all managers with bottom-line responsibility to their shareholders.

Book Description
A strong corporate image has power in a competitive marketplace. Its influence on reputational value and customer decision-making is only now beginning to be understood. Interest in corporate branding is exploding as marketing academics and professionals begin to realize how it can boost business performance in measurable ways. For example, it promotes customer patronage without expensive advertising and raises profitability by enabling companies to leverage their brand image when buying from particular sources. Yet there are few empirical studies available to clarify its basic tenets and fewer still that help us understand corporate branding in different parts of the world. Existing books focus mainly on conceptual ideas and real-life examples. Corporate Branding: Areas, arenas and approaches is a unique take on corporate branding that provides a global overview through rigorous research of different geographical areas across industries. An international range of leading scholars contribute their coverage across three clear themes: Area: geographical areas across the globe including the UK, USA, Europe and Asia; Arena: a variety of commercial and not-for-profit sectors, both B2B and B2C; Approach: methodological approaches to brand research design, including qualitative, quantitative, case studies, interpretivistic and social narrative. These three themes enable the reader to consider corporate branding from more perspectives and in more ways than any other corporate branding book. The result is an understanding of this strategically important, growing subject that cannot be found anywhere else. This book is an essential read for any branding student or interested professional.

Book Description
The branding bible for today's globalized world Today, brands have become even more important than the products they represent: their stories travel with lightning speed through social media and the Internet and across countries and diverse cultures. A brand must be elastic enough to allow for reasonable category and product-line extensions, flexible enough to change with dynamic market conditions, consistent enough so that consumers who travel physically or virtually won't be confused, and focused enough to provide clear differentiation from the competition. Strong brands are more than globally recognizable; they are critical assets that can make a significant contribution to your company's bottom line. In Global Brand Power, Kahn brings brand management into the 21st century, addressing how branding contributes to the purchase process and how to position a strong global brand, from identifying the appropriate competitive set, offering a sustainable differential advantage, and targeting the right strategic segment. This essential guide also covers how customer ownership of your brand affects marketing strategy, methods for assessing brand value, how to manage a brand for long-term profitability, effective brand communications and repositioning strategies, and how to manage a brand in a world of total transparency—where one slip-up can go around the world via social media instantaneously. Filled with stories about how Coca-Cola, The Estée Lauder Companies Inc., Marriott, Apple, Starbucks, Campbell Soup Company, Southwest Airlines, and celebrities like Lady Gaga are leveraging their brands, Global Brand Power is the only book you will need to implement an effective brand strategy for your firm.

Book Description
Firms differ in terms of their brand portfolio structure based on the classification well established by prior literature: corporate branding, house of brands, or mixed branding. The issue of effectively managing a brand portfolio has become simultaneously complex and increasingly important in the international business setting. Notably, it is the degree to which a firm emphasizes its corporate name in a brand portfolio that determines the firm’s branding strategy (referred to as corporate brand strategy or CBS in this study). Departing from a traditional scheme of categorical classification, this study attempts to measure firms’ branding strategy continuously with reference to the degree of leverage of corporate name across an organization. With this continuous measure, this thesis studies the performance implications of a CBS by testing its main effect on firm performance, as well its impact conditioned on the degree to which firms expand abroad, in a longitudinal sample of internationally expanding retail firms from multiple countries. The results of this study show that a CBS helps achieve superior performance. Notably, this effect is moderated by the extent to which firms internationalize in a curvilinear way. In addition, we find that cultural distance between firms’ home country and international markets serves to mitigate the negative interaction between CBS and internationalization. Lastly, service firms operating both company-owned and franchise units take advantage of their organizational arrangement such that they effectively overcome the complexities of international operation, better leveraging CBS in international markets. Therefore, this dissertation has important implications for theory and practice.
