The Brand Gap

How strategy and brand become one thing instead of two departments working past each other.

THE BRAND GAP came out in 2003 and has been read over 20 million times. It bridges business strategy and what customers actually experience. This is where the thinking starts.

What is in it:
The five disciplines of a strong brand.
Differentiation, collaboration, innovation, validation, cultivation.
Why a brand is not a logo,
but your customers’ gut feeling.
The bridge between numbers and creativity.
Both sides speak the same language afterwards.

Cover of The Brand Flip
The Brand Flip

You do not build your brand. Your customers build it, with you.

THE BRAND FLIP turns the view around: away from the company, towards the customer. And it answers why your brand is no longer yours alone.

What is in it:
Customers are in control.
You do not decide what your brand stands for, the people who buy from you do.
Define your customers first, then yourselves.
Strong brands start with who their customers want to be.
From product to movement.
Why loyalty comes from identification, not from discounts.
