Aaker is a seminal guide (first published in 1996) that redefines brand-building as a strategic asset rather than mere marketing decoration. Aaker illustrates his ideas through real-world case studies—such as Saturn, GE, Kodak, McDonald’s, and Healthy Choice—demonstrating how powerful brands are crafted and managed. He challenges common pitfalls in branding, urging marketers to go beyond product attributes and embrace emotional and self-expressive brand benefits through four identity perspectives: brand as product, brand as organization, brand as person, and brand as symbol.Structured with real-world examples—including Saturn, McDonald’s, Kodak, and GE—the book explores strategies for brand architecture, extensions, and global branding adaptation. It also emphasizes long-term investment in brand equity and the need for alignment across brand identity, execution, and organizational systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout The Author:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDavid Allen Aaker (born February 11, 1938) is a highly respected American marketing strategist, consultant, and emeritus professor at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business.
