The Brand Bubble: The Looming Crisis in Brand Value and How to Avoid It | |
Companies today face a dilemma in marketing. The tried–and–true formulas to create sales and market share behind brands are becoming irrelevant and losing traction with consumers. In this book, Gerzema and LeBar offer credible evidence––drawn from a detailed analysis of a decade′s worth of brand and financial data using Y&R′s Brand Asset Valuator (BAV), the largest database of brands in the world––that business is riding on yet another bubble that is ready to burst––a brand bubble. While most managers still see metrics like trust and awareness as the backbone of how brands are built, Gerzema asserts they′re dead wrong––these metrics do not add to increased asset value. In fact, by following them, they actually hasten the declining value of their brands.
Using a five–stage model, The Brand Bubble reveals how today′s successful brands––and tomorrow′s––have an insatiable appetite for creativity and change. These brands offer consumers a palpable sense of movement and direction thanks to a powerful "energized differentiation." Gerzema reveals how brands with energized differentiation achieve better financial performance than traditional brands have. Plus, Gerzema helps readers develop energized differentiation in their own brands, creating consumer–centric and sustainable organizations.
