What Great Brands Do (PDF)

Discover proven strategies for building powerful, world-class
brands

It's tempting to believe that brands like Apple, Nike, and
Zappos achieved their iconic statuses because of serendipity, an
unattainable magic formula, or even the genius of a single
visionary leader. However, these companies all adopted specific
approaches and principles that transformed their ordinary brands
into industry leaders. In other words, great brands can be
built--and Denise Lee Yohn knows exactly how to do it.
Delivering a fresh perspective, Yohn's What Great Brands Do
teaches an innovative brand-as-business strategy that enhances
brand identity while boosting profit margins, improving company
culture, and creating stronger stakeholder relationships. Drawing
from twenty-five years of consulting work with such top brands as
Frito-Lay, Sony, Nautica, and Burger King, Yohn explains key
principles of her brand-as-business strategy.
