A brand is the sum of all the associations about a product, service, or organisation that
live inside a consumer’s mind
![Page 4: a brand is a business person's best friend](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070314/554d11bfb4c905d4568b51bb/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The richer and more focused the associations the more
powerful the brand
![Page 5: a brand is a business person's best friend](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070314/554d11bfb4c905d4568b51bb/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
You don’t own your brand…your consumers do. Without
the associations in their heads all you have is a
product, service or organisation
![Page 6: a brand is a business person's best friend](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070314/554d11bfb4c905d4568b51bb/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Your job is to shepherd, marshal and direct all those associations so that they are richer and more productive
![Page 7: a brand is a business person's best friend](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070314/554d11bfb4c905d4568b51bb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Why bother?
![Page 8: a brand is a business person's best friend](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070314/554d11bfb4c905d4568b51bb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Monopoly
![Page 9: a brand is a business person's best friend](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070314/554d11bfb4c905d4568b51bb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Monopolies are good for businesses because in monopoly conditions
businesses get to name their price…
![Page 10: a brand is a business person's best friend](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070314/554d11bfb4c905d4568b51bb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
…within reason
![Page 11: a brand is a business person's best friend](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070314/554d11bfb4c905d4568b51bb/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Few of us operate in actual monopoly
conditions
![Page 12: a brand is a business person's best friend](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070314/554d11bfb4c905d4568b51bb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
But we can create effective monopolies…
![Page 13: a brand is a business person's best friend](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070314/554d11bfb4c905d4568b51bb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
…if consumers want our brand enough to resist
substituting it even when it is priced at a premium to the
alternative
![Page 14: a brand is a business person's best friend](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070314/554d11bfb4c905d4568b51bb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Innocent don’t have a monopoly over smoothies but
they do over Innocent – no one else can provide
consumers with the innocent brand
![Page 15: a brand is a business person's best friend](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070314/554d11bfb4c905d4568b51bb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Similarly Apple don’t have a monopoly over MP3 players
but they do over IPods
![Page 17: a brand is a business person's best friend](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070314/554d11bfb4c905d4568b51bb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

You can usually tell if a brand is healthy if it is being sold at
a premium
![Page 19: a brand is a business person's best friend](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070314/554d11bfb4c905d4568b51bb/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Or if the consumer is happy to make another trade off,
like the shopping experience at Ikea or the lack of
allocated seating on Easy Jet
![Page 20: a brand is a business person's best friend](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070314/554d11bfb4c905d4568b51bb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Brands are brilliant but…
![Page 21: a brand is a business person's best friend](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070314/554d11bfb4c905d4568b51bb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
They must have substance not just image
![Page 22: a brand is a business person's best friend](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070314/554d11bfb4c905d4568b51bb/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Innocent make great smoothies
Apple make great mp3 players
![Page 23: a brand is a business person's best friend](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070314/554d11bfb4c905d4568b51bb/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
And these days no brand is invincible faced with a superior
competitor
![Page 24: a brand is a business person's best friend](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070314/554d11bfb4c905d4568b51bb/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Hoover thought they had a great brand until Dyson arrived
and stole their lunch
