Building Distinctive Brand Assets is for anyone with a brand logo, font, or color scheme, and is essential listening for those who have wondered if (or have been told) it's time for a change. Listeners will learn how to set up a long-term strategy to build a strong brand identity, and how to make use of knowledge, metrics, and management systems in order to build and protect a brand's Distinctive Assets.
Building Distinctive Brand Assets is divided into three sections that capture the processes involved in brand asset creation, implementation, and ongoing management. The first section is focuses on strategy, and covers how Distinctive Assets are created and their role in a broader brand equity building. The second section covers measurement approaches, and how to use and interpret key metrics. The third section delves into the strengths and weaknesses of different types of assets and introduces the idea of a Distinctive Asset palette. This section also outlines how to set up a Distinctive Asset management system to provide an early warning system to identify potential threats before they evolve into major issues.
Jenni Romaniuk's latest book is about brand health tracking, one of the biggest (and most costly) sources of insights about brand performance and inputs into brand strategy that marketers engage in. But yet most trackers were designed pre-How Brands Grow, and so suffer from being not fit for purpose to provide insights to managers looking to grow their brands.
Jenni has conducted R&D into brand health tracking for the past decade; much of this is published in a disparate range of academic marketing journals, and some of it is not published because it is more technical. Better Brand Health brings together that R&D with Jenni and the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute's background to help brand managers and researchers design an evidence based, useful brand health tracking research instrument and get the most out of the information to inform their recommendations and implications.
