The Brand Gap Reviews

"The surprise book of the year!"
-JOHN MOORE, EDITOR AT FAST COMPANY

"The first book on brand that seems fresh and relevant."
-RIC GREFE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF AIGA, THE PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR DESIGN

"A pleasure to read. THE BRAND GAP consistently provides deep, practical advice in a light, visual way. Learn about the power of imagery and the role of research in building a heavy-duty brand-without the heavy-duty reading."
-DAVID A. AAKER, AUTHOR OF BRAND PORTFOLIO STRATEGY AND BUILDING STRONG BRANDS

"Finally, a book that cuts to the heart of what brand is all about-connecting the rational and the emotional, the theoretical and the practical, the logical and the magical to create a sustainable competitive advantage." -SUSAN ROCKRISE, WORLDWIDE CREATIVE DIRECTOR, INTEL

"A well-managed brand is the lifeblood of any successful company. Read this book before your competitors do!" -TOM KELLEY, GENERAL MANAGER, IDEO, AND CO-AUTHOR OFTHE ART OF INNOVATION

"In THE BRAND GAP, Neumeier reminds us that the ultimate moment of truth for all brands is the customer experience. Customer perceptions trump our own perceptions."
-KURT KUEHN, SENIOR VP OF WORLDWIDE MARKETING AND SALES, UPS

"Must-reading for anyone who wants to understand how their business strategy will succeed or fail when put to the ultimate test: 'Do customers perceive a difference that's desirable?'"
-STEVE HARRINGTON, DIRECTOR OF STRATEGY AND OPERATIONS, HEWLETT-PACKARD

"The book slices like a hot knife through all the turgid, pseudo-academic nonsense that surrounds branding. It's now on the course list for my graduate students, and new members of my team at Ogilvy get a copy with their training materials."
-BRIAN COLLINS, EXECUTIVE CREATIVE DIRECTOR, OGILVY
